About this Event

Finally, a show brave enough to ask: what if Matlock served c*nt?

In this new play by Christy Krawietz, folksy-but-c*nty lawyer Padeline Padlock learns contouring makeup has been banned to facilitate facial recognition technology. With the help of her c*nty grandson, Albi, Padlock must infiltrate a secretive tech company to discover its secrets and bring down the unjust law.

Come witness the unauthorized parody that has been described as “unhinged,” “unnecessary,” and “technically a play.” It is impossible to overstate the cultural importance of this “play," a vessel through which Krawietz (creator of “Paul Blart: Vatican Cop” and “The Backstreet Boys Finally F*ck”) channels what can only be described as The Divine.

Starring Jess Brill, Andrew Cawley, Garrett Buss, Surya Buddharaju, Jasmine Flores, and Jake Rowe
