Heavenly Bodies An Immersive Theatrical Experience
Once upon a time in 1962, there was a lonely house tucked deep in the forest. The closest evidence of civilization only found on thinly paved country roads. It once served as a boarding house for those in need; those downtrodden and suffering with vices far too taboo for the quiet Christian towns they came from. This house was a sanctuary for those lost souls searching for a chance to be found again. At first it was celebrated by the larger community of the neighboring village but when strange rumors began to surface of bizarre goings on within, opinions shifted. Then something terrible happened; 6 people wound up missing-- all tenants of Birch House. Stories of lust, loss, and mortal sin were whispered between neighbors, but no one knows exactly what happened on this desolate property. Some say that if you listen closely, you can still hear the moans of orgasms echoing from the past...

Staying true to the Dirty Words literary nature, Heavenly Bodies is inspired by literature and storytelling taken directly from real vintage Penthouse letters, extremist erotic pros from the French poet Pierre Louys, and a little bit of blasphemy straight from the Bible for good measure. We take what we read and spin those stories into a fully fleshed world. One you will likely become completely lost within. Let yourself be whisked away into the world of the Dead. Do not expect a stage; do not even expect to remember who you are. Heavenly Bodies is a portal into worlds beyond The Viel. You will leave transformed.

Heavenly Bodies will run for two nights; October 31st and November 1st. Doors open at 6:30 PM.

Must be 18+ to attend.

About the Artist:
He has been called one of the most original stand-up comics in the country, and his performances leave audiences laughing in tears. Michael Blackson, aka, ‘The African King of Comedy’, has been entertaining audiences all across the country and around the globe for more than a decade. Inspired by the stand up comedy of Eddie Murphy, Blackson began to develop his comedic talent in 1992 in the unkind comedy clubs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Blackson’s comedic appeal grew from his involvement with BET’s ComicView series, HBO’s Def Comedy Jam, Showtime at Harlem, and Live in Hollywood. However, it was in a Los Angeles comedy club where Blackson got his big break. Blackson was performing at the Comedy Store where actor/director Ice Cube was in attendance to see comedian Mike Epps perform. But after experiencing Blackson’s performance, Ice Cube invited the young comic for a reading…and the rest is smash hit history! Blackson’s outstanding and unforgettable performance in the smash hit comedy, Next Friday, drew praise and a fan following like no other.
After his scene stealing performance in Next Friday, fans wanted more, and in 2005, Blackson would not disappoint. He released his top-selling sketch comedy CD entitled, Modasucka, Welcome to America. With Blackson, the work never stops. Along with special guest appearances on some of the hottest music videos, Blackson stole the stage on P. Diddy’s Bad Boys of Comedy on HBO and starred in a commercial for the Chappelle Show on Comedy Central. There’s no mistaking Blackson for any other comedian when he takes the stage.
And what about those Dashikis? When he takes the stage, clad in the finest Dashikis the Motherland has to offer, “The African King of Comedy? is born! Along with his film and television endeavors, Blackson continues to entertain his fans as the headliner for live shows at comedy clubs, universities and special events, bringing his one-of-a kind, must-see stand-up performance to audiences all across the country and around the world.
