"The Decapitalization Cabaret"
"This latest edition of Bread & Puppet Theater’s cabaret series features the Kaspars’ interpretation of justice, an operatic argument about farms vs. jails, instructions on how to nab that alien, the can cans (and can’t can’ts) of universal health care and much more. The Decapitalization Orchestra will provide soothing sounds for winter weary nerves."
