Knight of the Burning Pestle Performances will be held on October 16 and 17, 2015; doors open 7:30 p.m., and the show starts at 8:00 p.m. at the University Place Christian Church, East Stoughton Street, Champaign, IL 61820 (on the corner of Springfield and Wright).
Do you go to the movies and see people who just yell at the screen as if it hears them? That makes no sense, right? It makes much more sense to yell at actors who can hear you!
The Knight of the Burning Pestle gives us audience members just like you, who are tired of seeing stuffy, boring plays about Kings and upperclassmen. They want a show about them, so they force their way into the show by throwing their apprentice right into the plot. The actors scramble to keep their plot together and structured, but are constantly thrown into chaos by the couple of ridiculous audience members!
