The performers are veterans of shows such as: Pilobolus, Cirque Du Soleil, The Metropolitan Opera and De La Guarda. This is a stellar cast that will thrill you throughout the evening. Insectinside catapults the audience in a whirlwind of flying wasps, glowing fireflies, and a towering praying mantis. Ravenous insects tackle the themes of love, grace, madness, and greed, revealing layers of human empathy. Insectinside is a spectacle of stunning imagery, audience immersion, and jaw-dropping physical feats. Within, a raw and volatile love story provokes the question: Is strife necessary to achieve enlightenment and love?

MUD! The Mud Wrestling Musical
100 Grand Street Theater
100 Grand Street (soho) 2nd Floor Manhattan, NY 10013
http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/166987

MUD! Is the first Mud Wrestling musical ever produced in New York City. This diverse cast of dancers, burlesque stars, singers and physical theater performers comes together to play out the story of a conflicted nun, who in her struggle to rescue her dilapidated church, finds herself entrenched in the seedy underbelly of mud wrestling, sex and a radical exploration of real faith. MUD! is a coming of age comedy of devotion, love, and getting a little dirty for what you believe in. Within the run-down walls of St. John's Church, in the midst of a tropical Midwest storm - a single prayer of a desperate nun is answered when Sister Mary Clarence is blessed with a stunning fundraising coach, Raina (who has an agenda all her own). In Sister Mary Clarence's desperation to save the infrastructure and restore her congregation she accepts Raina's unorthodox funding strategy - a good old fashioned mud wrestling competition. MUD will soar a.donat worry audience, mud guards provided!
