About this Event
Foes of a Minimum Wage Guard - the one man play
One actor. Twelve charactres.
All coporate dysfunction on what shouldve been a day off for Steve Smelly
Join us on October 24th for a hilarious, high-stakes comedy that tackles the chaotic reality of working late-night security on a shoestring budget in this award winning show!
68-year old retail worker Steve Smelly is called into work on his day off and reasigned as a loss prevention specialist without training. If he fails to protect the stores inventory from shoplifters and disgruntled employees, he faces termination by the ruthless Mr. Coldstone.
What to Expect:
- Non-Stop Comedy & Drama: Follow a night-shift guard battling absurd corporate policies, erratic trespassers, broken equipment, and the relentless struggle to survive on minimum wage.
- Fast-Paced Live Performance: Experience sharp dialogue, dynamic physical comedy, and an unforgettable cast of characters bringing the night shift to life.
- Q&A Session: Stay after the curtain call for an exclusive 15-minute Q&A with the cast and playwright.
