Be Merry and Drink while you see some CREATIVE theatre pieces this St. Paddy's Weekend! (Did I mention FREE BEER too?!)

The Pocahontas, and/or America Museum by Little Lord (a theater company)

Written and adapted by Michael Levinton and Laura von Holt
Directed by Michael Levinton


Performances March 5-23, Wednesdays – Saturdays at 8pm
The Bushwick Starr
207 Starr Street
Brooklyn, NY 11237

With over 400 years of history, legend, and pop culture as its sources, Little Lord reconstructs the American myth of Pocahontas in their fifth full-length stage work, Pocahontas, and/or America. Taking up the mantle of the early 19th-century dramatists who invented the American theater, Pocahontas, and/or America recreates our country’s origins through the lens of the immortal Indian princess, belle sauvage, Pocahontas. Using contemporary historical accounts, 19th-century melodramas, YMCA Indian Guides, archaeological research, and more, Little Lord digs into disputed histories to find out if it’s still even possible to make a patriotic piece of theater.

Part historical pageant, part roadside attraction, Little Lord corrupts over 400 years of fact and fiction to grant America the founding myth we all deserve.

Kay Hitchens abandons her life for an adventure, and finds what she's looking for in Leo, a brilliant cosmologist who believes a mutation in Kay's genetic code can unlock all secrets of creation. In an abandoned corner of the Arizona desert, Kay and Leo confront life-threatening forces -- and the unexpected arrival of Kay's husband, Tom -- in a search for meaning at the edge of time and at the end of all things. Also, there are orgasms.

TinyRhino Productions by UglyRhino Productions

TinyRhino: Hangover Edition is the perfect remedy for your post-St. Patty’s Day hangover. Come join us for six brand new plays that take “the hair of the dog” very, very seriously.

**TinyRhino is: The Theatrical Drinking Game.**

Monday, March 18th @ 8pm
at The Brooklyn Lyceum
Tickets are $10 and include one FREE beer!

It is also UglyRhino's take on the ten-minute play festival. Every month we commission six playwrights to write new plays, each including the same five dramatic elements. If you join us for TinyRhino, you'll be given a list of these elements. They might show up at any time, in any...
order, and with any frequency. When they do show up, do you know what that means?! DRINK!!

Every TinyRhino also features live music, drink specials and giveaways, and a cocktail hour following the performance.

~THIS MONTH'S ELEMENTS~
someone uses the phrase "hair of the dog"
