About this Event

A knife-throwing dream of masculinity, danger, and desire — served at a shared table.
Savage Wonder presents, The Big Funk, by John Patrick Shanley, a sharp, darkly comic portrait of dreamers trying to find their footing at the end of the millennium. What unfolds is funny, bruising, and deeply human — a collision of longing, fear, and the stubborn hope that change is possible.
Featuring,
Jose-Maria Aguila* Carolyn Holding* Zion Jang* & Whitney McIntosh-Joseph**Denotes a member of Actor's Equity Association
Our new experience begins with live music from Hudson Valley’s Petty Larceny, setting the tone before the performance unfolds and chef-driven, show-inspired fare by The Grape Rebellion, along with themed cocktails crafted for the night.
