Little Theatre.

Comedy.

Billy Van Zandt and Jane Milmore.

8m, 2f

Various sets with projections.

New York audiences went wild for this gag-filled water sloshing, bed crashing, pie throwing craziness. Performed in black and white with title cards projected over the actors' heads, and a live theatre organ accompanying every doubletake, this comic tour de force stars a dashing hero who overcomes jail, poverty, World War I and a dastardly villain, Lionel Drippinwithit, to win the girl of his dreams. She is the heiress to the Thickwad Screw Factory, a firm that has been "Screwing the American Public since 1861." The biggest pie fight the theatre world has ever seen caps the silent action. More than a tribute to the slapstick antics of Chaplin, Keaton and Arbuckle - this is a reverential recreation of a bygone era. "Hilarious! . . . Surprises abound in the inspired physical comedy." - Village Voice "The best show running Off Broadway! . . . If this isn't a smash hit, there's no theatre god!" - WOR Radio "Delightful." - The New York Times "An adoring salute to the golden age of film and an innovative twist on live theatre!" - Associated Press

FEE: $75.00 per performance
