About this Event

THE BIG FUNK

A knife-throwing dream of masculinity, danger, and desire — served at a shared table.

Savage Wonder presents The Big Funk by John Patrick Shanley — a sharp, darkly comic portrait of dreamers searching for footing at the edge of a new millennium.

What unfolds is funny, bruising, and deeply human — a collision of longing, fear, and the stubborn hope that change is still possible.
