What Do Davy Crockett and the Isabella Gardner Museum Thief Have in Common?

DANVERS— A new show is coming to town. The Revolutionary Theatre Company is holding its first ever production, Short Stories & Tall Tales.

Short Stories & Tall Tales is a bumbling comic adventure through history and literature. In "Davy Crocket Goes to Boston," the audience finds out the difference between the legends of Crockett and the actual life he lead, all while learning about this little-known trip to the bay state.

From Crockett's Congress to the sandy hills of Africa where Lady Jayne Greystoke vs The Mummy shows just how literal literature can be. She fights, she loves, she wins, she loses, Lady Jayne does it all while trying to find the sarcophagus of Hupopteppin, but awaiting her is something just as bad as an undead creature....the Nazis! Fast forwarding from the leather clad bad guys, to early 90's grunge where we meet Mark and Don in The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Robbery. What makes these two the perfect candidates for stealing art? Well; nothing actually, see if they can pull it off in our version of one of Boston's biggest mysteries. Adventures of Sam Adams are thrown in there too.

This raucous play is written and directed by Josh Black, co-produced by Thea Driscoll, and Naomi Olofson-Black.

Saturday shows are 8/26 and 9/2 at 6:00p.m.
Sunday shows are 8/27 and 9/3 at 3:00p.m.

Tickets are $15 at the door, $12 for DALCO members. Half of the ticket sales will be donated to the Rebecca Nurse Homestead.
