THEATER: Removable Parts is a theatrical series of love songs and meditations about voluntary amputation. Yep, getting body parts surgically removed is now a lifestyle choice we’re probably expected to treat with delicate sensitivity. It’s also not the first theatrical incision into this subculture; Kyle Jarrow’s play Armless bobbed through these waters not too long ago. But Removable Parts sets the stumps to music with amusing lyrics like, “I’ll be hooked for life / I’ll fling around these lifeless things / And maybe you’ll be my wife / Just so you can wear both of the rings.” The Central Arbiter deems it “darkly enchanting musical theater…silly, but also desperately sad and layered.” - John Del Signore
