An exploration of theatricality, physicality, musicality, and gravel. A developing new work utilizing gesture, movement, and live percussion. 5 characters intertwine in uncomfortable and mysterious ways through a series of moments using heightened language and musical interplay.

Following the creations of Scarlett Fever (nominated Best Physical Theatre) and Housewife ’52 (nominated Best Musical), John Wuchte turns to the decade of the 70s. Sparked by memories and incidents from his childhood, a new project began to emerge. Touching upon topics that are viewed in a very different light 50 years later, he brings us back to what is now a time capsule of complex emotions and disturbing relationships.

CRITICAL PRAISE FOR HOUSEWIFE ’52 – HFF2022
Nominated for BEST MUSICAL! Winner of BEST OF BROADWATER!

“The cast is perfection in vocal prowess, dance moves and characterization. Wuchte announced at the show’s conclusion that the piece had been in the works for years and there were about 100 hours of rehearsal required. It’s easy to see that it all paid off. To paraphrase Velma Kelly, “they do it in perfect unison”. Housewife ‘52 is sure to be among the top shows of Fringe, probably of the year. Don’t miss it!”

“John Wuchte and his Kick Boom Theater ensemble take musical theater and dance to a new level, offering a combination of incredibly intricate and perfectly executed movement choreography performed by 7 brilliantly talented performers, all set to soul tingling music performed by four musicians. I adored everything about this World Premiere production and plan to see it again! Do not MISS it”
