Dr. Serenity Hawkfire's Beyond Being

[img_assist|nid=347|title=Dr. Serenity Hawkfire's Beyond Being|desc=|link=none|align=right|width=288|height=288]Company: Suzanne Falter-Barnes LLC
Duration: 55 minutes
Studio 16

Join Dr. Serenity Hawkfire in this perfect parody of a New Age workshop. It’s Tony ‘n Tina’s Wedding on wheat grass — a completely hilarious evening of very interactive theatre that freely mixes scripted material with improv. As audience members ‘begin’ the workshop, Serenity receives a message from God (a close personal friend), stating that a producer of the ‘Good Day Ahead’ network TV show may be in the audience… so she attempts to wow him. Eventually the entire workshop goes to hell as Serenity loses it amidst more and more outlandish moments of New Age hilarity.
