Dear Friends,
We hope you are well. As we are only weeks away from our much-anticipated Mid-term elections - It is our joy to invite you to a Special & Fun Pride Night & Reception to IN Series' upcoming production of "The M.A.K.A.do: Make America Kingly Again!" An Operatico-Politco-Buffo-Satirico…
Based on The Mikado by Gilbert and Sullivan with New English texts by Bari Biern ~ on Friday, October 16 at 7:00 PM at The Kogod Cradle at the Arena Mead Center for American Theater - 1101 6th Street SW.
As IN Series lampoons all forms of tyranny, from would be kings to cancel culture itself, THE M.A.K.A.do: Make America Kingly Again! reimagines the iconic musical spoof as set in a great golden gilded oval office, with a cast of all too familiar characters that take no prisoners as they delight audiences and poke fun at fools from all sides.
With added strains of John Phillip Sousa, new rhymes from THE CAPITOL STEPS veteran writer Bari Biern, and over-the-top costumes, sets, and comedy. THE MAKADO uses laughter and music to say what no one is saying but we’ve all been thinking…
Members of the audience are invited to dress up as characters from the performance (see the costume designs here) and the best look-alike will win a prize...
With great friends and talented friends in the cast. Also: Stage Direction: Timothy Nelson, Musical Direction: Dana Scott, Lighting Design: Paul Callahan, Costume Design: William Linares, Wig & Makeup Design: Andre Hopfer
