Some Things You Need to Know Before the World Ends (A Final Evening with the Illuminati)

by Larry Larson and Levi Lee

Directed by Joey Arena; Starring JP Lebangood and Paul Curry

In a post-apocalyptic church, the Reverend Eddie prepares to give his last, all-important sermon.  You are the congregation and look on Some Things You Need to Know before the World Endsas crazy skits ensue, such as Saint Paul and Saint Timothy discussing the role of women in religion and then witness as he plays a whacked-out game of basketball against the most formidable of opponents: Death.

This hilarious play debuted at the Humana Festival of New American Plays in 1986 and is a favorite of regional theatres all over the country.

: The mission of the Alley Theater is to produce progressive theater and to provide an affordable venue for both traditional and experimental artists. The Alley Theater strives to include the entire community in its audiences and on its stage. The Alley Theater was formed in 1993 for the purpose of fostering original alternative performance works in the Louisville area and to offer local productions of progressive, previously established theatrical productions. The Alley resided in the Highlands area of Louisville and served that community for under 4 years. In December of 2007, The Alley Theater returned to Louisville in a new facility located within the City Block Entertainment complex. During that year The Alley Theater ran productions throughout 2008, to determine if an alternative theatrical cabaret would be viable in the Louisville area. The Alley saw its audience base grow exponentially in 2008 and determined that investing in a full-time performance and visual arts complex was the next step in its growth. Sixteen years after The Alley Theater first debuted in the Highlands, the organization is proud to bring the community a new multi-functional performance venue.
