About this Event
Under the Sheet is a cut-throat, messy new musical with music by Lour Yasin and book + lyrics by Alexis Elisa Macdeo where maids take centerstage like you’ve never seen them before. Sure, from a glance, they’re just like any other cleaning crew: swollen feet, cracked hands, and tired eyes from long hours…but they ain’t cleaning up no ordinary stains. These maids work for a hit man, getting blood out of the carpet and bleaching away any evidence of The Boss’s misdeeds to secure their safety in the streets. But when things start to go awry and a mysterious new member joins the crew, suspicions and rhymes fly as it all comes to a head on one fateful night.
