Juan Garcia has returned to his hometown of Oaxaca, armed with grand tales and big dreams of becoming the city’s biggest celebrity. Watch as he weaves a tapestry of tall tales and misadventures, aiming to impress (and possibly confuse) everyone, particularly the lady of his misguided affections. As bills pile up and tired servants reach their limit, the stage is set for a comedy of errors that even Juan can’t lie his way out of.

“Listen kid, I’ll keep your secret, but this revolution… it needs to happen now. We need to do it now.” ✍️ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗴 ✍️ A new play by Harley Elias Directed by Jay Duffer 💬 A coworker dispute turns deadly in this morbidly funny new play by Harley Elias. Set during the Assyrian Empire, *The Handless King* casts our heroes as two lowly government employees, both tasked with tallying the dead in wake of a recent battle. The problem? Only one of them can keep their jobs. As the day wears on, truths are revealed, revolution draws near, and someone’s losing limbs before the sun is set. The play drew inspiration from a stele (𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘣 𝘰𝘧 𝘸𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨) dating back to 728 BCE, that displayed two writing systems existing at once for the first time in our natural history. This high-octane historical fantasy comes to you after a wildly successful development at Amphibian Stage’s 2023 Sparkfest. 🎨 Artwork by @daniel_stolle 👉 Art Direction by @seriouslycantevan #amphibianstage #texastheatre #amphibian25thanniversary #fortwortharts #texasarts #seasonannouncement #thehandlessking #harleyelias #dfwtheatre #dallasarts #fortworth #fwtx #dallas #livetheatre

“God don’t want the Devil to have all the good music right?” 🎸 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗮 🎸 By George Brant 💬 Witness the collision of gospel and rock as DFW favorite Denise Lee embodies the incomparable "Godmother of Rock ‘N’ Roll," legendary Sister Rosetta Tharpe. The play chronicles Tharpe's first rehearsal with protégée Marie Knight in 1947, setting the stage for a historic tour that would establish them as one of the most significant music duos of the 20th century. Despite their influence on Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Ray Charles and more, Knight and Tharpe go largely uncredited for their contributions to rock and roll. George Brant's play aims to correct historical oversights by providing a stage for Marie and Rosetta to share their story through powerful performances. Don't miss the chance to witness the birth of a musical legacy that transcends time with an unforgettable night of toe-tapping, head-bopping, and soul-lifting entertainment. 🎨 Artwork by @daniel_stolle 👉 Art Direction by @seriouslycantevan #amphibianstage #texastheatre #amphibian25thanniversary #fortwortharts #texasarts #seasonannouncement #marieandrosetta #deniselee #sisterrosettatharpe #marieknight #dfwtheatre #dallasarts #fortworth #fwtx #dallas #livetheatre #georgebrant

🚂 Ready for a twisted tale of wealth, laughter, and moral dilemma? ⏳ The Visit arrives next week! With the biggest cast in Amphibian's history, you won't want to miss this larger-than-life classic, directed by Jay Duffer, in partnership with the University of Texas at Arlington’s Theatre faculty and students. 💬 Director Jay Duffer says, "This script is captivating to me. To relay such powerful and serious messages through the lens of comedy is a difficult task for any writer, but Dürrenmatt masterfully crafts his story so that the audience has no option but to laugh. We laugh either because the absurdity of our human weaknesses is exposed or because we need a release from the discomfort of the metaphorical mirror reflecting back on us. My approach to directing this play is to find and expose every foible presented and push it to either its most dramatic or comedic limit. With Dürrenmatt, this means it is sometimes simultaneously both." _ #amphibianstage #dfwtheatre #utatheatre #utatheatrearts #darkcomedy #thevisit #friedrichdurrenmatt #mauricevalency #fortworthlocals #dfwlocals #dfw #fallinfortworth #fallinfortworthtx #southmainvillage #fortwortharts #nearsouthside #southmainvillage #fortworthtx #fwlocals #thingstodoinfortworth #octoberinfortworth
