It’s Your Own Damn Fault
A Musical Comedy in 2 1/2 Acts
Music by Lon Hoyt, Book and Lyrics by Richie Chevat
It’s Your Own Damn Fault is the story of Hercules’ mortal half-brother, Demicles, and his quest to become a god. It’s a hilarious romantic comedy that also has something to say about inequality, luck, the one percent (the gods) and the ninety-nine percent (us mortals).
When Demicles and Hercules both say they want to become gods, Zeus declares a contest between the two. Aided by gods and demigods, they each must kill a Many-Headed Hydra, defeat the Furies, make it through the Valley of the Amazons, hold the sky on their shoulders and retrieve a golden apple from the Garden of Hera. While singing and dancing. Only Demicles seems to see the basic unfairness of this competition, but as the gods keep telling him, if you can’t keep up with Hercules, It’s Your Own Damn Fault.
With a catchy, R&B and pop- inspired score, It’s Your Own Damn Fault is a show that is funny, entertaining and thought-provoking.
Who Needs Men?
A fast-paced farce, Who Needs Men? had its world premiere at the Seoul Arts Center, Seoul, South Korea. This uproarious comedy features a young woman’s search for the perfect man and a young man’s attempt to find out what the perfect man is so he can fake being one.
It’s Just Sex
A Musical Comedy Revue
Music by Joe Baker, Book and Lyrics by Richie Chevat
A mix of comedy and songs that’s hilarious, weird and silly, just like –sex. In this revue you’ll see our bisexual soap opera, hear our Ode to Premature Ejaculation and play, “Who Wants to Have Sex Tonight?” You’ll love our climax, too. It’s a show for (almost) anyone because after all — It’s Just Sex.
