Be Happy Be Mormon: The Off-Broadway Preview
Due to popular demand a second Seattle preview has been added for September 5, 2014 at 7:30 PM
Seattle based Playwright/Performer, KIMBALL B. ALLEN, collaborates with Cornish College of the Arts alumna, Director EMMA HASSETT, for their first Off-Broadway premiere as part of the official selection of 2014 United Solo Theatre Festival. “Be Happy Be Mormon” is a voyeuristic look into the childhood of a Bambi-loving vegetarian, ballet slipper wearing, Diet Coke drinking gay Mormon Boy Scout.
A special one-night only preview in Seattle, before his New York City premiere, will take place on September 4, 2014 at 7:30 PM at Calamus Auditorium, Gay City, 517 East Pike Street, Seattle, WA. Washington State Senator, Marko Liias, will conduct a panel Q&A discussion following the performance with complimentary drinks and hors d'oeuvres.
Born into a large conservative Idaho family he doesn’t relate to, Kimball Allen chronicles his upbringing as a fabulous black sheep through colorful narration, private home movies, songs, dance and the occasional acrobatics in this hysterically tragic 60 minute performance. “Be Happy Be Mormon” is recommended for adults, theatre and LGBTQA communities.
Playwright/Performer: Kimball Allen. Director: Emma Hassett. Producer: Scott Wells. Voice Talent: Keely Wolter. Marketing: Erin Schiedler.
