From Trey Parker, creator of  SOUTH PARK and BOOK OF MORMON


CANNIBAL! THE MUSICAL! COMES TO THE LIBERTY THEATRE IN MAY!

CANNIBAL! THE MUSICAL! is the kind-of true story of the only person convicted of cannibalism in America - Alferd Packer. The sole survivor of an ill-fated trip to the Colorado Territory, he tells his side of the harrowing tale to news reporter Polly Pry as he awaits his execution. And his story goes like this: While searching for gold and love in the Colorado Territory, he and his companions lost their way and resorted to unthinkable horrors, including toe-tapping songs! Featuring penguins, carnage, a beautiful horse, the fearsome Cyclops and much more!

CANNIBAL! THE MUSICAL! Performs May 19th through June 3rd, Friday and Saturday evenings only. Tickets can be purchased at www.thelibertytheatre.org for $20 or by calling 541-756-4336. The theatre is located at 2100 Sherman Avenue in North Bend, Oregon 97459.

The show is adapted and directed by John Beane, assisted by Daneal Doerr. Beane - creator of WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE’S LEBOWSKI PRINCE OF NINEPINS, PULP SHAKESPEARE, BREAKFAST CLUB OF THE LIVING DEAD and others - has adapted the movie to the stage adding layers of comedy and creating a love letter to the theatre, with a cast of nineteen taking on more than forty roles. 

Starring Taylor Marchant, Jessica Crooks, Evan Haruyama, Michael Pedder, Harlan Morse, Aymee Pedder, Tim Novotny, Tom Holt, Bunny Ransom, Dawn Probst, Talisman Slatick, Kenzo, Masuda, Amanda King, Eric Gleason, Michael Slaska, Bex Turk, John Ezra Sherman, Mason Haruyama, and Steven Woods. Stage Manager is Johanna Zimmerman, assisted by Jason Goodson.

The show was written by Trey Parker (SOUTH PARK, TEAM AMERICA, BOOK OF MORMON and more). Originally a student of music, director Trey Parker transferred from the prestigious Berklee School of Music to Colorado University at Boulder to study film, and it was there he gave birth to his twisted brainchild "Alferd Packer: The Musical". Parker not only wrote, produced, directed and played the leading role in the film, he also wrote the songs and collaborated on the score.

The film began as a three minute fake trailer made for an advanced film production class and, as a joke the director said he was going to make the actual film. "People kept asking 'Where's the movie?" says Parker "The response was so positive, we decided we'd do it".

Together with fellow students Matt Stone, Jason McHugh and Ian Hardin (average age 23) they formed the Avenging Conscience Inc Production Company and raised $75,000 from private investors, friends and family by the day they needed to start shooting. They employed fellow students as cast members and took parts in the film themselves each stepping into each others shoes behind the camera when necessary. From conception to being in the can the film took around twelve months.

The Liberty Theatre is a 501c3 historical theatre about to enter it’s 100th season. Find out how you can become a member or help us in the final stages of our restoration program at www.thelibertytheatre.org. 2100 Sherman Avenue in North Bend, OR. 541-756-4336.
