Zap! brings you into the world where noir fiction bridges with fantasy; it is in this world where humans and anthropomorphic species coexist, and the rules and ancient laws are written in the skies known as the “Sky Laws”. Our audiences are given a rare opportunity to bear witness of two anthropomorphic professionals, a detective and a police officer, take the lead in an investigation on the death of a human male following a freak accident. The plot thickens as the nature of this world is potentially jeopardized by the sole witness, a human female resident who may be more than she looked, and the human police commissioner, who may be operating with ulterior motives. The investigation hinges on: whether the species can coexist to work together, solve the case, and restore justice to their world? Or will they cease to forever chalk the case up to a natural lightning zap... or as the Sky Laws forbid, magic? This show will be presented in American Sign Language with English voiceover.

With over 100 offerings from rebellious circus, delicious dance, fearless theatre and activist art to workshops, parties, and more Cannonball pushes the boundaries of live performance at four different venues this Fringe. Come as you are and stay past bedtime at cannonballfestival.org.

About the Artist

Our mission at Antihero Theatre is to promote and empower our Deaf and Hard of Hearing community by giving them the opportunity to partake in the theater scene of Greater Philadelphia. In doing so, we also aim to take an inclusive approach to break typecasting norms and spotlight representation of new and diverse talent. We aspire to present works done in ways that reflect, engage, and elevate Deaf and Hard of Hearing experiences: the good, the bad, and the antihero.
