Eugene, Ore. – Student Productions Association of Lane Community College is proud to present "Constance & Sinestra and The Cabinet Of Screams" November 14-22, 2014.
The Student Productions Association (SPA) of Lane Community College, invites you to join us for the Oregon premier of "Constance & Sinestra and the Cabinet of Screams," a new an award winning new musical comedy about love, loss, bonbons and taxidermy set in Victorian London.
Constance and Sinestra live with their mad taxidermist father, "Mad Dad", in a ruined house at the edge of a cliff. They have not left since their mother's terribly tragic death, but "Dead Mum" is still around watching over them. When Hereford, "the boy next door," and their delightfully homicidal neighbors, the Van de Scabbs, appear their lives are turned upside down and the world outside seems closer than ever.
A thrilling combination of Tim Burton and Hansel & Gretel, with plenty of music in between, this story is like a Grimm fairy tale, where what could have been charming and uplifting is subverted and suddenly macabre. A beautiful little show, which isn't anywhere near as frightening as it may at first seem; this clever gothic chamber musical was a huge hit at the Edinburg Fringe Theatre Festival where it debuted in 2011. It is a dark fairy tale for all the lost little boys and girls age 12+.
