Fringe Plays

These one-act plays premiered at the Kansas City Fringe Festival from 2008-2012. Hexing Hitler: A writer and his friends put a curse on Hitler to end World War II using witchcraft. Sexing Hitler: German occupiers are contracting syphilis in astounding numbers so Hitler orders the creation of inflatable pleasure dolls that they can carry in their packs to satisfy their urges. Lingerie Shop: It begins as a steamy comedy until one of the actresses curses the playwright and quits the play. A Pirandello-styled farce that deconstructs theatre and feminism. Khaaaaan! the Musical: The Enterprise crew goes back in time to find the world trapped in 1980s culture and lorded over by the guitar god Khan. This rock-n-roll parody of Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan explores our nostalgic fixation on the past. Jesus Christ King of Comedy: The familiar tale of Christ is used to satirize our celebrity worshiping society when Jesus goes into show business and becomes the biggest entertainer in the Middle East.
