OSCAR at The Crown
Presented by The Neon Coven
Created by Mark Mauriello
Music & Choreography by Andrew Barret Cox
Directed by Shira Milikowsky
​
Sequins, reality television, and the complete works of Oscar Wilde: not much else survives in a secret bunker far in the fascist future. OSCAR at The Crown is an immersive nightclub musical detailing the rise and fall of one of history's most flamboyant characters. AND it’s about The Real Housewives and a minor character from that show The O.C. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ And yes, it’s ALSO about us: staring at our phones, wondering if our latest Instagram is going to flop and if the bombs have started flying yet. See you on the dance floor! Wear something cool!

Julie Cooper:
Genesis Prayer

 

Beginning with the leap from The OC to The Real Housewives of Orange County, Julie Cooper: Genesis Prayer explores persona, pop archetype, and icon worship in contemporary media, as well as our own lives. A meditation on the destroyed distinction between reality and fantasy, this original theater work takes the audience on a journey through the darker, and perhaps most beautiful side of our popular culture.

 

Featuring: Page Axelson, Juliette Cremel, Madison Dildine, Olivia Miller, Valeriya Tsitron, and Veronica Wickline.
