Lonnie Hanzon and The Enchantment Society proudly present the Denver premiere of Siobhan O'Loughlin's intimate, immersive theatrical experience.
After a bike accident, leading to a broken hand, Ms. O’Loughlin began borrowing friends’ bathtubs all over New York (since she only had a shower). Crafted from a set of Ms. O’Loughlin’s journal entries after the accident, Broken Bone Bathtub is a testament to the kindness and generosity of her friends helping her take a bath, buying her dinner, leaving her wine and chocolate, getting her new bubbles, and washing their favorite warm bath robes for her to use. The theatrical experience stems from how much their openness, kindness, and generosity contributed to her healing, as well as a meditation on our many pathways to healing—through self, community, and the political movements around us that inspire us to persevere,
even in tumultuous times. The small-scale audience takes on the role of Siobhan’s close friends; listening and sharing their own experiences, and assisting the cast-clad artist in her very real ritual of taking a bath.
Broken Bone Bathtub has performed to sold out site-specific venues all over the world, received an Outstanding Solo Performance Award from The New York Innovative Theatre Foundation, and was named in the Top Ten Shows not to miss by City Pages Minneapolis, Best Performances in 2016 by DC Metro Theatre Arts, and Immersive Theatre Shows to See by The New York Times.

“An offbeat gem.” — Minneapolis Star Tribune
“This is a one of a kind, masterfully engaging performance. Amusing and profound.” — The San Francisco Examiner
