Stand Up and Fall Down

Ages 12+
Wordless performance

The Davay Theatre presents Stand Up and Fall, a masterpiece by Peter Shub.

This is a quasi-pseudo-autobiographical comedy about household objects, their fates, fears, and unrealized dreams. A roll of toilet paper awaits its moment of glory, a corkscrew sinks into a stupor, and a tripod comes to life and takes its first awkward steps...

Peter is the world’s loudest mime. A variety of characters will flash before you: an old coat on a coat rack, a manic plant lover, and a man injured by his tripod. He dances, sings songs from cookbooks, controls umbrellas, and talks to basil bushes.

According to experts, the performance lasts exactly 60 minutes. What is the performance about? Simply about 60 minutes.
