"Steampunk Opera" To Open In Manayunk

The Manayunk Theater Company will present a “Steampunk Opera” next month. Created by Paul Shapera, The Dolls of New Albion will open Sept. 3 and run through the 12th at Manayunk’s Venice Island Performing Arts Center.

The Dolls of New Albion, according to its official Facebook page, “deals with themes of romance and the soul while surrounded by a world of machines and a decaying city. It also asks the question: Can you resurrect a person’s soul and place it in a machine so it can live on?”

The run starts Thursday, Sept. 3 at 7 p.m., with the final show Saturday, Sept. 12 at 2 p.m.

Tickets are available at Fringearts.com.
