 Squonk Opera's "insane majesty" is driven by a six person band of "crackpot modernists and cartooning Michelangelos." Led by composer Jackie Dempsey and artist Steve O'Hearn, they have created an Off-Broadway hit and received over 50 commissions and awards, including American Theater Wing, Rockefeller MAP and NEA grants. From Belgium to South Korea, Palo Alto to Providence, nearly 200,000 people have been thrilled by their magic. PPAT tour support available.
"Masterly mayhem!" The Scotsman
“ …a multi-media musical frolic…ingenious, hypnotic, hallucinatory. You should probably know that when this critic looked at his notes the day after seeing Squonk, he found a scrawled sentence he didn’t even remember writing: ‘I can’t believe I’m such a sucker for this.’ ”
Ben Brantley,The New York Times
"Squonk is a breathless journey through an ever-changing emotional landscape, from horror to humor to ravishing beauty."
