Face front, true believer! This July, Shelterbelt Theatre is bringing a comic book to life!
Crash! Boom! Pow!, the 2010 Great Plains Theatre Conference selection by local playwrights Ben Beck and Molly Welsh, will run Thursday through Sunday July 12-29.
Crash! Boom! Pow! is the story of Benny, a completely unremarkable man, who dreams of a better life. One day, Benny buys a ticket from a mysterious man so that he can escape “the abyss of total meaninglessness that I know lies just beneath my feet.” He is thrown into a comic book world of robots, superheroes, magical amulets, wolves, bogeymen, cicadas and onomatopoetic word bubbles. The play is about good, evil, love, hate, fate and beautiful women who fly. Crash! Boom! Pow! is inspired by Charles L. Mee’s (re)making project.
BUT - in order to get the good-guys, bad-guys and hapless bystanders off the page and into one of the summer’s most innovative and imaginative productions, we will need a few real life heroes. Please help the Red Dove fly!

“But what’s in it for me?” you may ask. Well, unlike most masked vigilantes, who must hide their identities and thus remain unrewarded, we have all kinds of swag for our backers! So please consider sponsoring our campaign for this ground-breaking, wall-tumbling, super-smashing show. Excelsior!
Shelterbelt Theatre is located at 3225 California Street and has been bringing quality local, original shows to the area since 1993. We reach a diverse audience of fun seekers and dedicated theatre goers.
