from a past student production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
MST brings back its zany hit for a new generation of shenanigans! When Katskills Wintergreen takes a pie in the face for her little sister Dim, she enters herself into The Humor Games, a comedy battle to the death. Her knack for impressions is all that stands between her and failure — that and her faithful co-competitor Tweeta Mellish, who ropes her into a romcom, and her childhood friend Gable Sevenhouse, a member of the collective resistance against evil President Nobiz L. Shobiz. In this slapstick parody of The Hunger Games, who will have the last laugh? We will be back at the MATCH for the final performances, providing a true professional theater experience!
No auditions necessary. All students will be assigned a role after auditions during the first day of class. The play is professionally directed, rehearses at our Rice Village location, and performs at the MATCH in Midtown.
