Happy album release to @deadpeoplepark a melodic and driving masterpiece! Streaming on the platforms and I’m sure they’d burn ya copy if ya ask all nice.

Well I’ll be! We are one week away from the opening of Rhinoceros.

The Dormouse Theatre is proud to present Rhinoceros, the absurdist masterpiece by Eugène Ionesco, with performances scheduled for April 25, 26 and May 2, 3, 2025. This timely and haunting production invites audiences to explore themes of conformity, identity, and resistance—served with a surreal twist and a dash of dark humor.
In a small, peaceful town, the unthinkable begins to happen: people are turning into rhinoceroses. As the transformation spreads, the townspeople struggle with fear, denial, and the pressure to conform. Only one man, Bérenger, holds out—determined to resist the charge. Written in the wake of fascist movements in mid-20th-century Europe, Rhinoceros remains chillingly relevant today.
Directed by Stephen Dupuie, this production brings Ionesco’s absurdist vision to life with bold staging, striking visuals, and a cast of dynamic local talent.
Performance Dates:
Friday, April 25 at 7:30 PM
Saturday, April 26 at 7:30 PM
Friday, May 2 at 7:30 PM
Saturday, May 3 at 7:30 PM

Location: Dormouse Theatre, 1030 Portage St.
Tickets are available now at Dormousetheatre.com.
Come witness a world slowly—and hilariously—lose its humanity. Will you join the herd, or stand your ground?
