What is it you people want out of original theater these days? What will make you come in droves to fill in rows of seats before yelling “Bravo!” and tossing all manner of cut flowers upon the stage? Mark-Brian Sonna had penned drama, personal accounts and comedy and had been met with positive feedback, sure, but this time, just wait. In telling the story of the controversial lover Pope Octavius, he may have hit upon the perfect pairing with his edgy brand of comedic drama. Yep, John XII is at once daring and kinda educational, and the language isn’t the only reason for the NC-17 rating. Male frontal nudity, people. Now who doesn’t want that in a papal dramedy? John XII runs Thursday through August 1 with showtimes at 8 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays (and a 2:30 p.m. matinee July 18) at the Stone Cottage Theatre, 15650 Addison Road in Addison. Tickets are available by calling 214-477-4942 or visiting MBSProductions.net.
Thursdays-Saturdays, 8 p.m.; Sat., July 18, 2:30 p.m. Starts: July 9. Continues through Aug. 1, 2009
