Sneak Preview: AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS

It may still be December, but January is right around the corner, and so is an exciting new production of "Around the World in 80 Days." Co-produced with the San Jose Repertory Theater, this show is based on the Jules Verne novel and directed/designed with a steampunk twist. It's sure to be a treat for all ages, especially with five actors playing more than three dozen roles!

Proper London gentleman, Phileas Fogg, strikes a wager with fellow members of the Reform Club that he can travel around the world in a mere 80 days-- a mighty feat in the 1870s. With him goes his trusty French servant, Passepartout, while tenacious Detective Fix, who has mistaken Fogg for a fugitive bank robber, shadows him every step of the way. On his journey, Fogg encounters romance, adventure, and a host of colorful characters who both help and hinder his progress. Will Fogg make it back to win the wager?

"Jules Verne meets Monty Python... a flat-out frenetic farce, where the slapstick hits the fan."
