Acting Troupe Showcase

Law and Elvis: Based on a real-life 1977 incident in which three oddball characters tried to steal the late Elvis Presley’s body out of the cemetery, “Law & Elvis” is also a screwball parody of the long running “Law & Order” TV series. Caught red-handed in the graveyard with picks and shovels, Leroy, his dimwit cousin Billy Joe and an odd Cajun character named Zydigo plead their innocence while detectives Olivia and Elliott interview an audience pleasing line up of colorful characters to gather evidence for the no-nonsense prosecutor McCoy.

The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon:Two narrators attempt to recreate all 209 of the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm in a wild, fast-paced extravaganza. To make it more difficult, they attempt to combine them into one gigantic fable using Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin, Hansel and Gretel, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and other more obscure stories like Lean Lisa and The Devil‘s Grandmother. A wild, free-form comedy with lots of madcap fun.

McQuadle: A Dragons Tale: This charming comedy follows McQuadle, a curious dragon determined to discover his purpose in life — even if it means visiting an Evil Queen with her own secret plans. With help from three zany storytellers, audiences join McQuadle on a laugh-filled adventure packed with silliness, surprises, and a heartwarming moral. Easy to stage with minimal sets, simple costumes, and flexible casting!
