Imago Theatre’s Julia’s Place is a riff off Ionesco’s absurd classic, Rhinoceros, about a populace devolving into horned beasts. A cast of five comedic Imago knockabouts display puppetry, song and extreme zaniness. Running Friday, June 3-Saturday, June 18, writer/director Jerry Mouawad incorporates shadow puppetry and pure buffoonery as the lead characters – Porkchop (Josh Edward) and Ralph (Noel Olken) – figure out a way to survive the stampeding apocalypse with a trio of misfits, or at least get a plate of spaghetti from the kooky cafe owner (Carol Triffle) before the world ends.
Thursday-Saturday performances at 7:30 pm with one Sunday matinee at 2 pm. The show is for mature audiences due to language; children under 13 will probably be bored. Tickets ($20) are available in advance at and at the door. Imago Theater is located at 17 SE 8th Ave.
