Beginnings . . .

"Stay for me there, I will not fail,
to meet thee in that hollow vale"

-Edgar Allen Poe

Welcome! Welcome, to our stark, antiquated little corner of the Athens of America. Referred to as 'Uphams Corner' in the local patois, a rather unremarkable conglomeration of dilapidated brownstones on the south end of Boston. Our origins are far-reaching, from the pacific northwest, to the Lone Star State, and all the way back up to NYC (capitol of the world).We've gathered in this hollow vale on the uppermost floor of an abandoned Masonic lodge, (replete with crests, carvings, and stained glass aracana amidst the flaking paint and beat wooden floors) to incarnate five classic tales, and imbue them with the tragic magic that is our trade.

It is the lofty aim of our fellowship not only to create artistically brilliant, impeccably entertaining theatrical productions, but also to commit ourselves to a prolonged itenerancy, as a means of conveying our histrionic hamboning to audiences all over the country. A worthy endeavor if e'er there was one!

The Dramatis Personae of our party is as motley as one could wish. Though a full introduction will follow in due course, I sincerely hope, dear reader, that this synopsis will suffice for the now:

P. Debonaire Diseth: Don't let his mild-mannered looks fool you, he once performed the unabridged text of King Lear while Indian leg-wrestling Bigfoot. And who said Olympia wasn't interesting?

MIGHTY MEG MARK: Many men made Meg melt; many made Meg mad; mostly Meg maintains Meg-quilibrium. Meg's magnanimous, metropolitan, & man, Meg marvelously manages magnificent melodrama!

Kitty Kat Costello: Blithe and playful, this sultry soubrette is no stranger to touring vagabondage.

Baryshnikov Bradley: Yankee-bred, Russki-trained, he's referred to as 'The Machine'. His offstage time is spent exploring the nuances of Prussian mating rituals.

B.D. Tex Bell: Although this cowboy's portrayals err on the side of 'Brokeback' rather than 'Gunsmoke', he swears that at least one woman at the theater loves his 'bod.

Hoping that your interest is piqued, we leave you now to the meanderings of your own wild fancy.

Until next time,
