Hiya dearies and Happy Beltaine to us all. So this troupe from New York is unique and awesome, and I wanted to letcha know. They combine hiphop with playback with commedia dell'arte (their newest adddition) and they're REALLY good. (There's a new actor who sure seems queer to me.) Go if you can. Big hugs, Mountaine (rhymes with Beltaine)
