The Taxpayers
Celebrating Goof Punx, DIY Music, Social Awareness, and Jimmy Buffett (Contact and Booking: noah@thetaxpayers.net)
RISE OF FUTURE DOGS. COMING SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15th.
In the year 6000 humans are dead. Cats have risen to power using the cold calculations of mathematics. Dogs can’t do math, and are being slowly eradicated by the evil cat tyrants. But a pack of brave rebel dogs and their penguin friend have set out to change the course of history…
On Saturday, October 15th (Saturday!), the Taxpayers will be performing their 3-act play, “RISE OF FUTURE DOGS” during three consecutive shows. The 1st Act will take place at Red and Black cafe (400 SE 12th) at 6 pm. The 2nd Act will take place a few blocks away at Laughing Horse Books (12 NE 12th) at 9 pm. Intermission (and possibly an extra SECRET act) will take place at the Andrew Jackson Jihad show at the Hawthorne Theater. The final 3rd Act will take place at the Jurassic Park House (5516 N. Mississippi) at midnight.
Come join us for an evening of musical theater, presented to you by Useless State Records. Appropriate attire required.
