ERA’s MOSCOW! is a drinking-game version of Anton Chekhov’s play THREE SISTERS. Olga, Irina, and Masha are sisters living in an insignificant town in Russia. They spend a lot of time talking about how all they really want to do is go back to Moscow, where everything is better. The town’s people come and go through the sisters’ house, which they own with their brother, Andrey. Everyone is so emotionally erratic – is it because they’re Russian? Perhaps it’s because they’re drunk. THREE SISTERS examines the frivolity of privileged life; MOSCOW! intensifies it with live music, dancing, and vodka.

i carried souls to the goddess as the sparrow
i relinquished fear as the crow
i knew myself & my song as the owl
i snatched victory as the falcon
i knew the dead as the kite
i wore the dark mask of the osprey
i rose with the potency of the condor
i stood atop the tower as the raven

How much is a soul worth? Based on Goethe's most celebrated work, ERA’s experimental musical, FAUST (go down with all the re$t), is a post-modern, rock-opera-adaptation in which Heaven is the bank and everyone prays to the Almighty Dollar. FAUST (go down with all the re$t) is a full-length theatrical production created by ERA’s ensemble of theatre artists with text from Goethe’s Faust, Mikhail Bulgakov’s The Master and Margarita, and contemporary television game shows. The script was created by the ensemble. The music was created by Kid Scientist. Join us for this capitali$t tragedy with music, dancing, and drinking!

As the 2017 St Lou Fringe Festival local headline act, ERA created its latest experiment in theatre: SNOW WHITE. This new adaptation of the old story sources the novel Snow White by Donald Barthelme, Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and the Grimm brothers' Schneewittchen. Who is Snow White? What does she fear? Whom does she love?

ERA commissioned six playwrights to play a game of telephone that began with the last scene of Romeo and Juliet. The result: six new plays, each a re-interpretation of the last, which six actors perform for you.

Never Mess with a Mexican Girl is a saucy twist on The Little Red Riding Hood fable. Little Roja is sent on a mission to cross El Rio Grande to deliver food to her abuelita who cannot get out to do her marketing. On her way there, she meets a rock star, El Gran Lobo. All the sexually hungry wolf wants is to take a bite out of her! He meets up with her at abuelita’s house only to find that Little Roja is smarter than he presumed. To save her life, she blasts him away with her diamond studded gun because she’s a real chingona! I had to cut out the woodsman role because who needs a man to save the girl?
