See a Show
Walking
the dog Theater and Diamond Opera Theater will present "Red
Carnations X 2" on May 15, 16, & 17 at the Basilica Industria.
Neither presenting organization has been able to find evidence of
anyone performing a double bill comprising a play and an opera,
both on the same text. The play is about two young men, one
young, one more mature, who wait for a young lady. Each of
them wears a red carnation to be recognized. Confusion, romantic
expectations, and the comic situation all illustrate the importance
of getting to know a person before proceeding to romance.
