Teatro ZinZanni Seattle today announced the royal flush cast of its fall creation Hollywood Nights - a three-hour whirlwind of love, chaos and dinner served up à la cirque, comedy, and cabaret. Hollywood Nights will feature the long-awaited return of prolific actor and fun-slinger Ron Campbell as well as absurd visual comedian Mr. P.P. Filling out another international cast of unique talents is chanteuse Francine Reed, aerial trapeze artists Ben Wendel (of Duo Madrona) and Terry Crane, opera diva Juliana Rambaldi, master juggler Gamal David Garcia, vaudevillian Wayne Doba, acrobat-dancer Andrea Conway Doba, gorgeous gymnast Elena Gatilova and Chinese Pole acrobat Domitil Aillot.

Countess Aurelie and her fellow madwomen are back to save Chaillot, Paris and the world in a stylishly realized theatrical tour-de-force. As directed by Christopher Henley, WSC Avant Bard's THE MADWOMAN OF CHAILLOT is a feast for the eyes and ears. The production, in an exciting and vibrant translation by Laurence Senelick, also feeds the soul as a reminder of how precious our fragile earth really is and how important it is for someone, anyone, to take a stand to protect it. This MADWOMAN is also brilliantly acted from the members of the quirky ensemble to the queen bee herself, Countess Aurelie, effortlessly brought to life by Avant Bard company member Cam Magee.

Rightly so, since his company delivered three New York premieres in Program One with William Forsythe's The Second Detail, Jose Martinez' Resonance, and Alexander Ekman's Cacti for a full throttle experience.
