Le Petomane Theatre Ensemble

About Me

Le Petomane Theatre Ensemble is Louisville's Finest Alternative Theater Company, Bringing You Exciting Ensemble-Created Original Works of Physical Performance and Doing Odd Things to the Classics We Love. We like to offer cheap tickets, we like to spell theater/re as many different ways as we can perform it, and we like it when people come to see our shows then stay to drink after.Lepetomane.org

My Interests

Precise, Articulate, Butt-Kicking Comic Physical Theater/re and those who attempt it.

I'd like to meet:

Theater-goers, Wealthy Patrons, evil robots disguised as Wealthy Patrons, odd ducks, 'ukulelists, people who appreciate beaujolais nouveau, the last living rococo-era painter, go-go dancers, Ralph Steadman, haberdashers, others.

Music:

Ukuleles, anyone?

Movies:

Yes, we like movies.

Television:

Sometimes, yes; sometimes we like television.

Books:

Oh, yes, we read quite a lot.

Heroes:

Joseph Pujol, Bill Irwin, Harold Lloyd, Jacques Tati, Buster Keaton, Preston Sturges, Zasu Pitts, John Cleese, Harold Peary, Gracie Allen, Anthony Daniels (I think you know him; I think you know his work), Dot Warner, Adam West, Samuel L. Jackson, Betty Hutton.
