Join Johnny Depp, preteen heart-throb turned wino forever, for a retrospective on every film in his entire career, even the ones we didn't watch, in order to ask... what happened? Bring your Edward Scissorhands poems, your Gilbert Grape anecdotes, and Jack Sparrow memorabilia to toss onto the shrine turned dumpster fire Depp has created for himself. Part ritual and part drunken singalong, Johnny Depp: A Retrospective features rum, throwing things at random intervals, and "fabulous" prizes.

This February, in the dead of winter, we invite you to venture outside as we take you on a journey through your insides. This piece takes place both outside and inside, and the audience will be moving throughout. Some provisions for warmth will be provided, and layers are encouraged!
