Performed by its wacky creators off-Broadway, this frenetic entertainment is long on shtick and historical hilarity. It is staged as a backers’ audition for an $83.5 million, 12-hour stage history of the world from creation to the present. Eighteen side-splitting numbers portraying Adam and Eve, Attila the Hun, the building of the pyramids, Julius Caesar, and Columbus, among others, give potential investors a taste of the impending extravaganza. In the process, the opulent Park Avenue apartment “borrowed” for the occasion is trashed as the two snatch its furnishings to create makeshift costumes while singing and clowning their way through inventive recreations of the past, stopping occasionally for a little supplicating showbiz patter.

NEW THEATRE RENOVATIONS
In early 2024, Dixon Stage Left moved out of its old second-floor space on 1st Street to move all of its operations to a new first-floor location right around the corner on South Peoria.
PRODUCTIONS SPONSORS
Once we’re able to complete enough renovations to reopen, we look forward to starting regular season production again. Each Season and production within that season typically has a sponsor who helps us pay for rights, equipment, professionals, materials, and more.
