September 25 - October 18, 2015, Thurs-Sun; Previews: Fri-Sat, September 25 - 26; Opening night: Sun, September 27; All performances start at 8pm.
Starring Mugwumpin founders Joe Estlack and Christopher White, and directed by Susannah Martin, Blockbuster Season is a furious send-up of Hollywood disaster flicks. Giant asteroids, nuclear Armageddon, zombie invasions are just a few of the more spectacular ways human civilization may come to an end, and Hollywood serves up variants of the same stories again and again. Mugwumpin dramatizes the genre's familiar cliches with a critical eye aimed at exposing their darker implications and real world cognates. Does survival depend more on competition or cooperation? Blockbuster Season suggests a way out of the fiery explosion that doesn't involve a commanding leader or superhero.
