Loose Canon

by Brian Reno & Gabriel Vega Weissman
Directed by Kathy Sturm
​
Some of the world's greatest playwrights are sent up in a series of hilarious scenarios. 

The Story

From Molière in IKEA to Chekhov in a Taco Bell, this series of short comedies satirizes the world of the American consumer in the style of canonical playwrights. It’s a walk through history…if history were a strip mall. 

The Elmae

Inspired by the works of Euripides

A child receives the most desired birthday present of the year—a Tickle Me Elmo. Chaos and discord descend upon the party as the children vie for a chance to tickle the Elmo. 

Featuring Scott Clay, Ellie Huber, Youssef Nagaty, Katie Palcsak, Zack Rodriguez, and Emery Saunders.

The Perseverators

Inspired by the works of Moliere

A trip to IKEA tests the friendship of two young men, and a disagreement over interior design becomes a battle of wit in rhyming couplets.

Featuring Ellie Huber, Youssef Nagaty, and Emery Saunders.

Peanuts & Cracker Jack

Inspired by the works of Neil Simon

A young couple attends a baseball game, where foul balls, a bombastic hot dog hawker, and overpriced Cracker Jack give their relationship the jolt it needs.

Featuring Scott Clay, Ellie Huber, and Katie Palcsak.

Upright & Locked

Inspired by the works of Samuel Beckett

Claustrophobia and confusion overcome a woman on an airplane. The mysterious voice making inflight announcements only exacerbates her confusion.

Featuring Youssef Nagaty and Katie Palcsak.

The Most Lamentable Comedie...

Inspired by the works of William Shakespeare

​Two men are fired from their posts at an Amazon warehouse for stealing, but their criminal motives were honorable: to post honest online reviews. 

Featuring Youssef Nagaty, Zack Rodriguez, and Emery Saunders.

The El Taqueria

Inspired by the work of Anton Chekhov

A failing family-owned Tex-Mex franchise in the Berkshires is facing foreclosure, but the three sisters in charge are oblivious. Their estranged brother returns to make them face facts.

Featuring Scott Clay, Ellie Huber, Katie Palcsak, Zack Rodriguez, and Emery Saunders.
