Love is in the air, all around you, and most definitely between the sheets if you’re doing it right! (Or maybe bedsheets aren’t your thing so you’re doing it in an anti-gravity suspension chamber with strap-on tentacles— whatever floats your boat.) All that delicious erotic loving— remember the antiquarian of the insane and his die-hard followers need love too— was all wrapped up in one gooey, tentacle-covered package for a Valentine’s Day at The Yellow Sign Theatre.

And they could be giving you a love story, they could be giving you animal mutants.

Review: Bucket of Blood at The Yellow Sign Theatre

Reviews February 20, 2015 Amanda N. Gunther

Life is an obscure hobo bumming a ride on the omnibus of art. But what makes art? And who determines what is art?
