A Disturbance in Whitechapel

October 11th, 2014- COTU presents the world premiere of: *A Disturbance in White Chapel* Oct. 26th- Nov. 2nd starting at 7pm (doors at 6pm)- on the streets of NoDa! Citizens of the Universe, Charlotte’s most adventurous theatre group, presents: “A Disturbance in Whitechapel”- a new take on the Jack the Ripper rampage. This event starts at UpStage (except the 26th where it starts at Salud), then moves to the streets of NoDa. ‘Disturbance…’ is an environmentally immersive traveling theatre piece that has five randomly chosen endings and the killings condensed into one night, Whitechapel has snaked its way to the streets and businesses of NoDa! A killer is on the loose, butchering women of the night and it is up to Detective Fred Abberline and his partner, Sergeant George Godley, to put a stop to this devil before he can finish his bloody spree. It all starts when a fine Whitechapel Vigilance Committee Masquerade Party is interrupted by a murder right downstairs. From there the trail of comedy (this is INDEED a comedy!) whisks the audience one block down to 35th and back. Only one person who knows who the murderer is… and Saucy Jack isn’t saying. Remember to dress for the weather and look out for the paperboys! Ages 13 and up. SPECIAL GUEST BAND: The Hashbrown Belly Boys… and yes, they act as well! Opening and closing night parties at Tommyspub Charlotte! All COTU ticket prices are suggested donations; this event has a suggested donation of $15. Advance tickets are $10. If that’s too much- come see the show on Cartee and spend your money on a drink! UpStage will be offering specialty drinks plus dinner for the Whitechapel Vigilance Committee Party. Reservations for dinner and advance tickets can be made at http://www.upstagenoda.com/ UpStage is located at 3306-C North Davidson St., Charlotte, NC 28205. more info online at www.citizensoftheuniverse.org AGAIN, SPECIAL NOTE: On the 26th we will NOT be at UpStage but downstairs at Salud to start.
