Round House Theatre presents
Cautionary Tales for Adults and The Many Adventures of Trixie Tickles
By Bouncing Ball Theatrical Productions
Directed by Shirley Serotsky, choreography by Melissa-Leigh Douglass, with musical direction by Andy Welchel
Friday, November 28 at 8pm, Saturday, November 29 at 3pm and 8pm; Sunday, November 30 at 3pm

Two unconventional mini-musicals: first, an unhinged librarian teaches several unsuspecting adults about the injustices of life. Next, a high-strung children’s TV star learns her own valuable lessons – like “being pretty is all that matters.” Singing and dancing and gunshots, oh my! Winner of the Audience Choice Award for Best Musical at the 2007 CapFringe Festival. Appropriate for adults.

The DC-based Bouncing Ball Theatrical Productions was founded in 2006 when writer Shawn Northrip joined with director Shirley Serotsky to start a company with the vision of creating new and unique musical theater works that challenged genre expectations with hip stories and contemporary music. Their work appeals not only to fans of musicals, but also to audiences who rarely attended live theater. Bouncing Ball's other productions have included the middle school rock musical Lunch at The First Annual Capital Fringe Festival and the New York Musical Festival and the punk musical Titus X, seen at DC's Black Cat.
