What is Point Break LIVE!?
Point Break LIVE! is the absurdist stage adaptation of the 1992 Keanu Reeves/Patrick Swayze extreme-sports blockbuster that tells the story of former college football star, Johnny Utah ,in pursuit of the surfing, bankrobbing, skydiving, bare-hand-fighting adrenaline-junkie-cum-Zen-master, Bodhi Sattva.
Point Break LIVE! features armed robbery, big-wave surfing, car chases, explosions, and no less than two extended skydiving sequences. This "extreme-action" play offers a truly cathartic experience, putting YOU in the water with the surfers and robbing YOU at gunpoint. Add in the hotness factor- surfer dudes and female stunt doubles and you have a night of live theater that rivals any experience in terms of pure excitement and energy.
What makes Point Break LIVE! cooler, funnier, and crazier than any other show?
The starring role of Johnny Utah is a member of the audience each night, and reads their entire script off of cue-cards. This method manages to capture the rawness of a Keanu Reeves performance- even from those who generally think themselves incapable of acting. The fun starts immediately with the "screen test" wherein the volunteer Keanus (usually 5-10 guys & gals) go through a grueling audition process. The part is then cast via applause-o-meter.
Check it out, brah. It’s an experience you’ll never forget.
