A traveling flea circus. A mother in search of a lost daughter. A mysterious magician. A story that mixes Greek mythology, prairie legends, intergalactic travel, zombies, banjo music and ectoplasmic glop into a theatrical stew. Where else could all this happen but at the Nightingale Theater? The Midwestern Theatre Troupe revives its "Warm Delicious Play," first performed in 2001 and now greatly revised by author John Cruncleton. This "pulp-mythic comic fantasia" will be presented 8 p.m. Oct. 5-6 and 12-13, at the Nightingale, 1416 E. Fourth St. Tickets are $10, at the door or at tulsaworld.com/nighttix
