The Underground Monk Show is exactly what it sounds like—a group of performers from some of Las Vegas's most inventive shows have joined forces to create something that's equal parts absurd and ambitious. This is a work-in-progress showing, meaning you'll catch the creative process in action as these artists develop what they're calling "the greatest monk show you've ever seen." Expect a mix of the sacred and profane, with performers who know how to walk the line between genuine artistry and complete ridiculousness.
The cast includes talent from major Vegas productions like Opium, Absinthe, and various fringe theater projects around town. At Majestic Repertory Theatre, a small venue in the Arts District known for experimental work, this two-night-only showing promises "hot monk action" delivered by what the creators themselves describe as "a group of idiots." Co-directed by Corey Podell and John Norris, the show runs late night, which seems fitting for something this deliberately weird.
