Before Walmartopia there was Temp Slave, a rollicking musical tribute to America's low-wage workers, a satiric demolition of the myths of the modern economy.
"Walmartopia is a unique treat, for the music, the message and the madcap comedy."

Walmartopia, the Musical
Heroic single mom Vicki Latrell speaks up to her corporate employer and finds herself and her young daughter jettisoned to a future where Wal-Mart dominates the entire world, (with the exception of Vermont.)
The story of one woman worker's struggle for dignity told through touching song and rousing dance. A hilarious look behind the smiley face of the postmodern workplace.
"Campy, caustic,
and comically irresistable"
At the New York Fringe Festival in 2006, Walmartopia was selected as Best of the Fringe. "Not to be missed" said nytheatre.com.
"A Brechtian invocation to get up and do something."
In 2007 Walmartopia played the Minetta Lane Theatre in New York where it received a rich production: superb cast, unforgettable music and very enthusiastic audiences. Walmartopia. Always.

Blasphemy
A trio of irreverent comedies with God-fearing show tunes that take aim at creationists, George W. Bush, Rapture Christans, and intolerance of all stripes. Guaranteed to offend and delight the righteous and the damned.
In the Beginning
an Evolutionary Musical Comedy, a retelling of the story of Adam and Eve with singing-and-dancing animals and a love triangle from Darwin! Zaney zoomorphic fun.
Andrew Rohn and Catherine Capellaro
“a hip Rodgers and Hammerstein.”
