We've got three amazing shows lined up for BATTLE OF THE BARDS VI:
MACK THE KNIFE
Written by Stephanie Mallard Couch and Stephen Bucheit
Directed by Stephanie Mallard Couch
Mack the Knife is a fast and loose musical adaptation of (that Scottish play) set in a 1920s speakeasy complete with gangsters, molls, dolls, canaries, et al.
PAPER BULLETS
Written by John E. Allis
Directed by Emily Harvey
In Paper Bullets two media powerhouses tamper with the personal and professional affairs of four budding Hollywood icons. Scandalized sweethearts fumble with love and illusion in this modernization of Much Ado, a farce replete with sex, glitter and deception
APOCALYPSE SOON

Religious figures throughout a variety of texts and oral traditions come together for a three day reunion to plan the apocalypse and decide who's saved. Surfacing issues like hope, salvation, choice, whiskey, and acoustic music the characters try to resolve their angst before destroying the world.
