about the show
- video from the 2023 tour -
This year’s touring production is a return of “The Medicine Show of the 25th Century” - in the distant future we follow a troupe of animal hybrid humans on a quest to find the mythical “perfect human being”. To fuel their quest, they travel from town to town, hawking a cure-all elixir to an audience desperate for solutions to the world’s toughest problems.
