Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum release
Moonshot
A Big Story on a Small Stage August 4 and 5, 2017; 8:00 p.m. Space Shuttle Pavillion, Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, New York
Join us for the New York premiere of Moonshot by Chicago's Theater Unspeakable.
To recreate the early days of the Space Race, seven actors squeeze onto a stage nearly as tight as the original Mercury capsules — about 21 square feet. Using only their bodies and their voices, the actors bring to life a thrilling time in the history of human exploration. Encompassing everything from the Cold War to Sputnik, from Yuri Gagarin to Neil Armstrong, this action-packed show brings tongue-in-cheek humor to a whole new atmosphere — one where the rules of gravity no longer apply.
Run time: 60 minutes. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. This performance is not recommended for children under five. Tickets now available.

Thanks Robert but 3 minutes and 15 seconds was quite enough...

25 seconds was as far as I got. And that was 24 seconds too much.

I’ll wait for the professional reviews on this one but it’s safe to say that this theater company has most certainly lived up to its name with this performance piece. Unspeakable.

Are the ticket prices what they are going to pay you to watch this? What are the ape sounds at 31 seconds doing there? And not recommended for children under 5, and certainly not for anyone else.

I was wondering about the "monkey" sounds as well. At first I thought it was a nod to "2001: A Space Odyssey" but then I figured it was an ode to Ham and Enos.
