Take the “fun” out of “funeral” and throw the rest away!

Zoe Wohlfeld is holding a funeral for her childhood dog, Twinkles. Dressed in Victorian mourning garb and ready to cry on command, she’s here to teach you how to properly perform your grief. All she wants is your sympathy, your tears, and a goddamn glass of wine (please). Sadness is Zoe’s passion, and Twinkles was Zoe’s best friend, so join this solemn ceremony and let her teach you how to pay your respects with the big boys (may they rest in peace).

Content warning: This show includes audience participation, sexual references, themes of death and suicide, and the use/consumption of chocolate cake and flour onstage.

Zoe is a classical actor turned clown. She is a graduate of Ecole Philippe Gaulier, and her work has been performed in the US and UK including at Soho Theatre with London Clown Festival, with Underbelly at The Edinburgh Fringe, and with Liebenspiel’s Weekend of Weird at Brighton Fringe. Dog Funeral is her debut solo show.

LATE SEATING POLICY:
Late seating is not guaranteed for comedy or theater.
Late seating will end after the opener, if there is one, and when the headliner begins.

WHY LIMITED LATE SEATING: Due to the architecture of our space, the entrance is next to the stage and it is disruptive to the performer to enter late. We will seat you if there is an opener but once the headliner starts, you may be allowed to sit in the lobby but will not be allowed to enter. Please know this is for the best experience for the artist. No refunds for late entry.

START TIME: Performances will begin no later than 15 minutes after stated show time.

NO REFUNDS.

WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBILITY: Please enter through the glass foyer to the right of our entrance, press B and you will arrive in the Basement for Saloon and The Rockwell. Please call the host at (617) 628-4444 for assistance.
