Le Petomane Theatre Ensemble’s fourth season at the Rudyard Kipling opens this September with a ten-minute-play festival of new ensemble-
created originals. The show, entitled Le Petomane’s Next Show (the title will make sense in a second), will be an experiment in audience interaction:
The group performs an evening of short pieces, featuring their usual weirdness of form: physical comedy, masks, music, dance and even a radio show. Then, at the /files/storyimages/of each night’s performance, the audience will be given the opportunity to vote on its favorite, which will be expanded to a full-length piece and become their… next show (Get it?

Le Petomane’s Next Show: a Festival of Shorts will be performed on September 20-22, 28, 29 and Monday, October 1, at 7:30 pm at the Rudyard Kipling,
The Special Monday Night Performance will also be a celebration of the 3rd anniversary of Le Petomane Theatre Ensemble’s emergence onto

Reservations can be made by calling the Rud at (502) 636-1311 or by contacting Us@LePetomane.org.
