Hello Blackout
New Paradise Laboratories provides a fresh take on the creation myth, infusing it with playful nonsense in an impossible setting—before, during and after the Big Bang. A horror-farce with philosophical overtones, Hello Blackout! follows the eccentric Kissimmees—triplets, their mother, an elusive father—at the beginning of time. Blackouts engulf the family as they slam into the inexplicable future—with grim and hilarious results.
This production was produced by New Paradise Laboratories, directed by Whit MacLaughlin, and performed at The Drake Theatre in Philadelphia, PA.
