THE CITIZENS BAND: The Panic Is OnThe Citizens Band, the sexy, ribald musical troupe renowned for their dazzling song and dance performances, brings you THE PANIC IS ON, the latest of the group’s critically-acclaimed socio-political productions. Set in a fantastic neverland somewhere between 1918 and 1943, the troupe finds itself confined to a makeshift bomb shelter and forced to make its own bawdy entertainment while they ponder such issues as war, immigration, xenophobia, poverty and their own hopes for political change. The resulting mix of song, dance and elegant aerial ballet is both wildly entertaining and intensely thought-provoking. http://www.thecitizensband.net/ |
