Hokey Pokey Play

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2012

“Put your right hand in, put your right hand out… and do the hokey pokey and turn yourself about”.
I loved that song in Kindergarten. And here it is again in a new play at the Cabaret Theater of the Temple of Music and Art.

In case you can’t read the small print above:

What happens when a clown who isn’t funny, a writer who doesn’t write, a black magician who wants to turn himself white and a con-man selling an elixir that cures baldness and hemorrhoids confront one another in the common room of the institution in which they are housed? Madness!

Kayner’s plays have won a variety of awards and played to full houses and noteworthy reviews.
These include -
Thumbs – ‘The play wraps profound ideas in true-sounding interchanges for an incredible effect’
Noche de los Muertos – ‘a brilliant schematic’’, ‘lyrically written’, ‘a fine play’
The Funniest Joke in the World – ‘heartfelt and compelling’
Language of Flowers – ‘is a hauntingly beautiful play’

SEE YOU AT THE HOKEY POKEY!

Produced in association with Old Pueblo Playwrights.

Call 520-297-3317 for tickets. I wonder why the word playwrights isn’t spelled “playwrites” as that is what they do, write plays. Enjoy this play.
