Johnny A Cannon is back in Johnny A Cannon II: Johnny Descending, the sequel to Immediacy Theatre Project's 2006 satire on pop
culture. After Johnny defeated Saruman the Puce and Nefarious Villain, he and Party Guest Number Four departed to live
their life of peace together, but a new and darker thing threatens the safety of the United Confederacy of the New Americas. The
Others have been killing off the Secret Council of the Six, and only Johnny's mother now remains. Meanwhile, the incumbent
President President fights for reelection against his upstart opponent Dark Horse, Danny DeVito searches for a mystic
stone, and all our hopes rest on Goldie Hawn Wenobi. Johnny A Cannon II: Johnny Descending -- exploding in your
face this summer.

Belleville, IL 62220 SISU is doing its best to rip back in time to tell humanity about its impending doom and the ants' eventual ascension
to power, but the Larkin family can't understand why a seemingly alien presence has appeared in their barn. Immediacy Theatre Project (ITP) is proud to present two plays in one unique show. Schizo is comprised of the apocalyptic whimper written by Benjamin
Coen and the bitingly satirical BANG by Kyle Kratky. Both full-length plays take place simultaneously in different locations in
one building ,with the audience split between them, each seeing a different part of one story. whimper tells the story of SISU, a supercomputer from the future who has punched through a wormhole to warn
humanity of their imminent destruction. SISU's story centers on the fragile, doomed inter-species romance of Tilly
and Esther, who try to make sense of their manufactured lives in the face of destruction. In BANG, the Larkin family is surprised to learn that a bodiless being calling
itself SISU has taken residence in their barn, insisting they listen to its cautionary tale. In the midst of preparing
for Thanksgiving on their failing family farm, the Larkins band together to protect their land from this alien force. Schizo
is a theatrical event that tells two unique, stylistically different stories as part of one massive attempt to explore
humanity's responsibility to one another and to the world in which we live. For more information or
