Serendipity -Or- An Evening of Happy Accidents in Exactly Seventeen Scenes (More or Less) Serendipity - or - An Evening of Happy Accidents in Exactly Seventeen Scenes (More or Less)
The participants in this cabaret are prevented from speaking, dreaming, and loving by an evil dictator. Two intergalactic traveling clowns stumble across the cabaret causing chaos, the dictator’s loss of control, and the blossoming of love.

Serendipity is a unique multimedia presentation combining music, digital artwork, prerecorded and live video, and animation.
