The Coronation of Queen Jaguar
World Premiere

Writer/director/designer: Christine Stoddard
Assistant writer/director/designer: Aaron Gold

Let’s get meta, baby. Christine Stoddard and Aaron Gold, play themselves on stage, presenting several colliding character acts: Queen Jaguar, played by Stoddard, is a warrior poetess from the jungle who communicates only through improvised a cappella as interpreted by The Ambassador, played by Gold. Art *****, played by Stoddard, is a Bushwick trust fund brat of the contemporary art world, enabled by her wealthy Uncle Cornelius, played by Gold. The Appraisal Lord (Gold) and his assistant, Helpy the Helping Jester (Stoddard), will allow audience members to choose their interaction with the characters, be it a Playful insult or a Serious Compliment. You’ll also be graced by an honest to God AUTHOR, played by Gold. In this show, Stoddard and Gold navigate a conflict that challenges them to re-examine the dynamics of their relationship. An ensemble cast of characters and the audience will gradually guide them back toward meditation and the love that they both deserve. In this new work, which uses previously created and performed characters of ours, the central thrust will be comedic. This is unlike previous versions of Queen Jaguar and Art ***** work. The show is largely improvised and involves audience participation.

Running Time: 1 Hour 15 Minutes

Location: Johnson Theater
