Glitz! Glamour! Guns? It’s Forever and a Day, the unbelievable exploits of Special Agent Double Deuce---a man of action, song and dance. His mission: save the world from the evil Doctor Thunderpussy. His allies: The Queen of England, Hollywood’s favorite starlet, and the sexiest President in American history. Fists will fly, tangos will tantalize, and Agent Double Deuce will sacrifice everything he holds dear to destroy the darkest demons within his soul.

Mary's Dream Theatre

July 17-18 @ 8pm

$10-$20 Buy tickets Here


As modern troubadours, Spear Ensemble becomes Mary's Dream Theatre. A TROUPE of actor, acrobat, dancer, musician & poet clowns tackle the topic of transcendence, as they tell the Tale of Mary: in the forest, upon a bed, legs of live trees grow toward heaven, a girl awaits various soul mates, she chooses penitence over consummation. But temptations do arise...

Based on personal experience and myth, Mary's Dream explores transcendence found on a journey through (any denomination of) hell. Dance, physical Theater, Acrobatics, clowning, live music with vocal harmonies, poetry & narrative, guide us through several interlocking stories of tragedy and victory.
