Upcoming Events

SCHLITZIE: alive and inside

Rogue Artists Ensemble presents the premiere of Schlitzie: Alive and Inside,

by Eric Fagundes and directed by Nikki DiLoreto.

Previews begin March 13 at the Heritage Square Museum

(Heritage Square Museum, 3800 Homer St, Los Angeles, CA 90031),

with an Opening Night set for March 21.

Schlitzie: Alive and Inside follows the story of Schlitzie, an iconic and often misunderstood performer who was a star of the sideshow circuit during its heyday in the first half of the 20th century. Audiences step into a memory collage of Schlitzie’s life, from his sideshow persona, to his appearance in Todd Browning’s 1932 film Freaks, to his time in Los Angeles performing in MacArthur Park. But behind the glitz of entertainment is a life well-lived;

Schlitzie’s is a story of found family, of kindness in the face of adversity, and finding humanity in a world that aims to label, ignore, or forget you.

Previews March 13 - 16, 17. Performances March 21 - 30

Tickets start at $36. Tickets and information will be available at rogueartists.org.
