BANG!: A Humanist Musical Is Coming to Portland, Oregon

The Center For Inquiry – Portland is doing something novel to celebrate the Winter Solstice: They’re hosting a first-run musical!

BANG! portrays the evolution of the universe from the Big Bang to today. Highlights include 8 Planets And A Star, which celebrates the dance and balance of our solar system, and New Ape In Town, which features matriarchal Bonobos expressing their observations of a strange, new, upright, hairless ape seen roaming about.

I’m amused and I haven’t even seen a preview yet. If you’re in the area, the show takes place Friday and Saturday, December 21^st-22^nd. Tickets can be purchased here!
