Craving more steampunk adventure after The Tumbleweed Zephyr? Return to the world of New Providence with special encore readings of The Clockwork Professor by Maggie Lee!

Pork Filled Productions presents two chances to see this special staged reading of The Clockwork Professor on Wednesdays, August 19 and 26, at 7:30 pm at the Mainstage of 12th Avenue Arts (1620 12th Avenue, Seattle, WA), featuring some members of the original multicultural cast from our 2013 production.

Professor Seamus Pemberton is a humble inventor, a quiet man of science. But as political unrest sweeps over the great city of New Providence, buried secrets erupt from his past to threaten everything that he holds dear, and perhaps even the Crown itself!

Admission is FREE with a valid ticket stub from The Tumbleweed Zephyr,  or $5 at the door or online at Brown Paper Tickets: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/1648512

“The Tumbleweed Zephyr isn’t a direct sequel to The Clockwork Professor, but it’s all connected” says PFP Executive Director Roger Tang. “With our remount of this reading, the audience can catch those connections and further explore the New Providence universe.  So if you missed Clockwork the first time, or just want to see it again, now’s your chance!”

Yellow Fever by Rick Shiomi

Set in 1970s Vancouver, BC, hard-boiled detective Sam Shikaze investigates the mysterious disappearance of the Cherry Blossom Queen. With a knack for finding trouble, Sam gets entangled in politics, romance, racism, and the painful memories of Japanese-Canadian incarceration camps.

Under the direction of Jennifer Jasper, PFP presents a fresh new look at this classic Asian Canadian play with the twist of switching the main male roles to female protagonists, exploring the question of how gender plays into the standard expectations of the Noir genre.

The Cast:

Pork Filled Productions is pleased to announce our Summer 2015 show, The Tumbleweed Zephyr. We are auditioning all ethnicities for the show, which is directed by Amy Poisson (These Streets, The Clockwork Professor, Fast Company) and written by Maggie Lee.

This Old West scf-fi adventure returns to the thrilling, steampunk-inspired universe of our 2013 production The Clockwork Professor. Two brothers, Atticus and Kai, climb aboard the Tumbleweed Zephyr, a transcontinental train headed out of New Providence for the wilds of the Western Territories. But what starts as a simple journey by rail soon takes an unexpected turn, with airship bandit raids, twists of fate, wayward sparks of romance, and the lonely call of a train whistle echoing across the clear desert sky. So grab your satchel and dust off your best traveling hat for this epic new summer adventure!.

The Tumbleweed Zephyr will be performed at the new 12th Avenue Arts on their mainstage, August 12 to 29.
