Red Door's World Premiere Opens Friday

Red Door - The newest theatre company in the Iowa City area premieres a one-man show written by Josh Beadle Friday, May 14 at Public Space One in downtown Iowa City. Red Door is dedicated to presenting original works and Postcards from the Post-Apocalypse certainly qualifies.

The show is a hypothetical portrayal of a man left in a post-apocalyptic nightmare world with no running water, no viable sources of food, and 95% of the population over run with zombies. Managing Director Kerry Kieler said, “We chose this script because we think it has immense value to the dialogue people are having right here and now regarding our existence. The number of movies about 2012 or other sorts of Armageddon are quite common, it’s rare that we see something theatrical about the subject.”

Playwright and performer Josh Beadle said, “I’m just glad to be able to perform a production that is so definitely pop culture and has direct relevance to a topic that a lot or people think about whether they know it or not.” The production was written out of a conversation about what Beadle would do in a hypothetical situation concerning the end of time during this last Christmas.

The show runs May 14-16 and 21-23 Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm and Sundays at 2:30pm. Tickets are $10.
