KNOCK-KNOCK, WHO’S THERE? is a new musical about the strange things that can show up at our front door. Your order from Amazon? Great! But what about a grumpy neighbor who demands you trim that overgrown tree in your yard? Or a political candidate you already hate? Or someone from the census?
KNOCK-KNOCK—is playful and funny, and at the same time no joke. It represents the government coming right into their family, and immigrants in particular can be understandably wary. Yet there are real benefits to being counted—and real costs for not participating, whether or not you get “caught” at it. KNOCK-KNOCK, WHO’S THERE? visits through both sorts of America’s neighborhoods, where census believers and non-believers all mix it up in a high-energy comedy loosely modeled after the iconic television show “Laugh-In.” (Ask any boomer whose family had a TV around 1969.)
Four performances of this short original musical will be at the El Salon Theatre, 114 West Hall St, San Ysidro. RESERVE YOUR FREE TICKETS RIGHT HERE.
Thursday-Friday-Saturday,
