A cult classic of 1960’s American satire. Carol and Marjorie Newquist and their son, Kenny, are preparing to welcome their daughter, Patsy, and her new boyfriend, Alfred. However, nothing is normal about the Newquists, and it all goes downhill, crashing through the conventions of polite society.

In a play that combines physical comedy, farce, political satire, and clowning, an over-anxious young woman finds herself on the set of an ad campaign aimed at convincing Americans to embrace inflation. She plays the role of a 1950’s housewife while slowly dealing with the creeping rise of authoritarianism and the dramatic irony of begging chickens to lay eggs for her husband.

In a cabin at a ski resort, three college friends—and one reluctant brother-in-law—are on a bachelor party weekend that goes completely off the rails. What begins as a light-hearted getaway spirals into a cocaine-and-beer-fueled disaster, a darkly comedic dive into masculinity, addiction, and the absurdity of male bonding.
