17 Border Crossings at The Broad Stage

Friday and Saturday, January 24-25, 2020 at 7:30pm

7 Border Crossings is a comical, visually surreal, sometimes harrowing, and engrossing look at the imaginary lines that divide up the world and the very real barriers they create.

 Created by and starring Thaddeus Phillips

The audience is asked to climb aboard a communist-era train from Prague to Belgrade, smuggle KFC out of Egypt, hide away in the wheel well of a transatlantic jet and bolt across the border from Mexico to the U.S. in the dead of night. With a chair, table, and bar of lights, Phillips, an award winning theater director, designer and performer magically conjures barricaded Venezuelan bridges, a rusty Croatian ferry, perilous international flights, obscure Amazonian ports, the twin cities of El Paso and Juarez, deportations, strip searches, illegal crossings, arbitrary passports and curious customs – a dazzling trip around the world.

 Hailed as "the king of Funk 'n' Roll" by the LA Herald Examiner, Clarke has attained "living legend" status during his over 40-year career. A virtuoso on both the acoustic and electric bass, he will be joined by a band of all-star musicians along with the renowned The Lyris Quartet.
