Show Description:

In Sinneapolis, crime is of the essence. After earning his Ph.D. in Mad Science, Dr. Bad is ready to take over the city with his right hand, Penis-In-a-Can, and a whole posse of dismembered body parts. There’s only one thing left to do … be in a power couple. Dr. Bad is smitten with the KitKat Bar and Cabaret’s star, Lady Godiva. He sends klutzy henchman Schmutz to plant a love serum in Godiva’s perfume, so one puff would render her instantly smitten. But Schmutz is terribly, horribly in love with his boss! Classic. When the mission goes awry, Schmutz must decide: to what lengths will he go for Dr. Bad’s affection? Can I call this court to disorder? And how many evil lairs are there in this story? Find out in Mask and Wig’s 137th Annual Production: Vaude-Villainy!

Locked in the Attic Productions and Five OHM Productions are proud to announce the World Premiere of "Ballybunion Backs Bill!", a pitch-black comedy by Irish playwright and filmmaker Seanie Sugrue, running February 26th through March 15th at the Broadwater Main Stage in Hollywood, just in time to get audiences into the St. Patrick’s Day spirit.

Set in 1998 in County Kerry, the play is a fictional account of President Clinton’s visit to the small seaside town of Ballybunion, days after his infamous scandal with Monica Lewinsky. We follow Monica Looney, a cobbler who owns Monica’s Shoe Repair, as she is tormented by some of the locals to change the name of her storefront so as not to offend the President. At the same time, Monica’s two children are preparing to emigrate in search of better lives abroad, forcing her to confront the quieter Irish tragedy of those left behind. As small-town obsession and international scrutiny collide, Ballybunion Backs Bill! skewers celebrity worship, political optics, and the cost of staying behind.
