About this Event
A medical startup is beginning clinical trials for its groundbreaking new antidepressant, Enditol. But there’s only one spot left in the clinical trial. How would any socially responsible pharmaceutical company decide on a test subject? A song contest, of course. Eight contestants, led by an intrepid host, compete for the last spot with impassioned musical pleas that grow stranger by the second. Millennial nihilists and fans of Miss Universe alike are welcome to our SSRI-themed musical cabaret featuring a variety of musical genres, capitalism caricatures, and side-effects galore.
