BOHEMIA
Bohemia is the creation of writers, artists, and performers Opal Peachey and Mark Siano. While it may not seem that a cabaret about classical music set in the 1890s would be a hit, the passion and love poured into this endeavor has made it Marxiano's most popular show to date. Now on it's 5th year of professional productions, Bohemia at the Triple Door is one of the most Seattle's most beloved theatrical traditions.
Bohemia centers around composer Antonin Dvorak who after a scathing review has hit a wall. His friend and fellow Bohemian, artist Alphonse Mucha suggests maybe some absinthe could cure his creative duldrums as it had worked for so many famous artists of the day. Dvorak reluctantly agrees after indulging in way too much absinthe he goes on a creative journey of love, debauchery, music, dancing, green fairies, and he's even visited by the ghost of Frederic Chopin (played by Opal Peachey).
