One of Louisville's most prolific playwrights, Le Petomane Theatre Ensemble, returns to the Bard's Town with a depraved comic meditation on Louisville's REAL holiday season.

Locals: come prepared to exorcise your Derby demons; Tourists, come prepared to laugh in amazement at what really goes on around here, as Le Petomane takes on the sacred and the profane with a satirical gonzo twist on the hubbub surrounding the fastest two minutes in sports. (Which...we're still not sure what that phrase means...)

Come see the troupe that the Courier-Journal calls "simultaneously...hysterical, physical and thought provoking" and was named Best Theater Troupe in the 2010 & 2011 LEO Weekly Readers' Choice Awards.
