Remembering and Celebrating the Life of our very, very dearest Everett Quinton
To be imbued with the spirit of the Ridiculous, is a feeling like no other, it’s home, it’s family, and we lost our Patron Saint. But we are still here, and Everett’s spirit lives with us! I am beyond grateful that I get to sing Everett’s lyrics, “Heterosexual Heidi” (maybe you already knew that you were going to meet your Swiss Heidi when you wrote it Ev). From the day I met Everett, I got to perform in pretty much every show he directed, and was lucky to be the Hüre to his Galas, Alexis to his Vera, Venus to his Cosroe, Brunnhilda to his Ninny and so many more... It's been the greatest honor, legendary Everett, I love you forever! La Mama, May 22, 20023 |

We at BKBX have been coming together in the rehearsal room and creating a whole new show emerging out of very different times... the press calls it... “fun, inventive and surprisingly socially relevant” “pretty terrific” “captivating” “splendidly skillful and utterly absorbing” and Michael Dale from Broadway World said “It took me more than ten years to see a performance by Broken Box Mime Theater… and I’m ashamed of how I’ve squandered away over a decade of playgoing.” swoon April 1 - May 1, 2022 |
