The Charlie Bethel Experience

[docbethel]

From the stages of Minneapolis' famed theater community:

THE CHARLIE BETHEL EXPERIENCEis coming to Tulsa.


Two remarkable solo performances.

"When a man can wear a short sleeved plaid shirt, tucked into a pair of jeans, look entirely midwestern, walk onto a stage bare except for two chairs and a teensy table with a glass of water, and OWN that space and hold the audience's attention hostage for a full hour with a tale of epic proportions, full of characters with strange names and unfamiliar places and customs, and make taking a drink of water the greatest cliffhanger ever...then he truly deserves the glowing reviews (he has had) and everyone should go see this show." —Billie Konze, Verage Audience Review.


Friday Night, January 5th: BEOWULF

The horrors of the night in Hrothgar's Hall.   "...a classic re-imagining...beautifully interpreted and wildly vivid...simply breathtaking!"—John Townsend, Lavender Magazine.
Other review comments: "compelling" . . . "subtle and riveting". . . "timeless and timely". . . "rip-roaring" "...hip, interesting and important." . . . "bold and colorful". . ."masterful performance."


Saturday Night, January 6th:  GILGAMESH

No one gets out alive! A lustful royal superhero. His beloved hairy sidekick. A vengeful goddess. Monsters to slay. Sex. A love that transcends death. Even humor. All of it comes alive more vividly than in the most f/x filled movie. And it's all just Charlie Bethel telling a tale that's been kicking around for thousands of years. This is what theater is about. —Reid Gagle, Epic theater. Other review comments: ". . . Great gods, go!" . . . "beautiful, funny, engaging and the best one hour you could spend." . . ."Absorbing, transportative, amazing". . ."genius storyteller."
