Previous Shows
In Show Number One, marvel at a crazy conductor as he leads his orchestra at the speed of sound, question your senses at the invisible dogs, cheer on a Herculean housefly, disbelieve your eyes as furniture floats, and sigh with relief as a knock-kneed baby calf returns safely home.
PERFORMERS: Wolfe Bowart, Xochitl Martinez
Held on Saturday, September 9, 2023 @ 2:00 PM.
The WoBo Show: Show Number Two stars Wolfe Bowart and Xochitl Martinez, with guest artist Matt Walley reprising his titular role as the carnival strongman from 2018’s smash hit OAF. During OAF’s original run, Arizona Daily Star theater critic Kathy Allen wrote: “It’s clever and witty and engrossing … the joy is in watching Walley, who is a talented physical clown. His face contorts, his body bends, his hands tell captive tales.”
