Clay McLeod Chapman:
BAR FLIES

The inaugural show of Galapagos's new theater series: EVOLVE! Click here for more info!

written by Clay McLeod Chapman
performances by Karl Allen, Clay McLeod Chapman, Hanna Cheek, Dave Gueriera, and Sean Twomey

Welcome to the bar of your nightmares. If their was a dive in purgatory, this would be it. Every sad sack in this place has a story to tell, and each and every one of them is one sip away from spilling their guts. Or cutting their feet off. Or picking up chicks to join the Marines. Or toasting to ghosts. Or burying their next-door neighbor in the backyard. Or exposing their incestuous lesbian love affair with their little sister. Or hand-picking which drunkard to get in a car accident with on the road back home.

Welcome to BAR FLIES. Five new gothic tales written by Clay McLeod Chapman, creator of the Pumpkin Pie Show. “Bar Flies” will be presented in Galapagos’s back room among its patrons, our band, noise, smoke, drink, sweat, pickup lines, etc. It will consist of five stories spoken by five actors mixing with music from the band. You will not know the players until they speak, possibly from the bar stool next to you. You can always order another drink. The more alcohol you put down, the better the show is going to get... You could possibly even go home with one of the performers.

The Flanks

Rollicking bluegrass party music. As far back as 2002, the legendary Flanks have been playing in and around New York, converting everyone within shouting distance to belief in their all-spit-and-no-polish country jug stylings. Most of their songs are originals, the rest are forgotten old-time gems. In sweet, crowd-pleasing harmony, the Flanks sing about shady characters, questionable goings-on, regrettable sets of personal circumstances, petty thievery, chemical impairments, and hitting on recently divorced women.
