AMERICAN APATHY

Despite their Fiber Boost Juicer 5000 and 28 passenger SUV, Ron and Judy are sensing a void in lives. The TV assures them that it’s nothing their credit cards can’t handle, but when imminent bankruptcy looms large they may be forced to wake up from their “blissful” American Dream. Don’t miss this new comedy by acclaimed local playwright Aaron Christopher.
“Christopher, shows a real gift for left-field one-liners that shock half the audience while evoking laughter in the other half.”
- Quinton Skinner City Pages
Under the Award Winning Direction of Matthew Greseth
Starring
Melissa Bechthold
Nate Hessburg
Marcia Svaleson
Ryan Grimes
Tim Reddy

Rave Reviews for Previous Works by Aaron Christopher

Livelihood

“Aaron Christopher wowed us with Livelihood.” John Townsend-Lavender Magazine
"A captivating piece that grabbed me from the beginning and held me through the curtain call." John Haynes-Director of the Brave New Workshops Brave New Institute
“Hilarious, provocative, and surprisingly poignant” - Linda Satorius

Protection Program

“Fantastically random!”- Krista Sundberg
“I was apparently laughing so hard on the way home that I was swerving on the freeway. Got pulled over by a cop and I told him I had just seen the most hilarious play. When he asked what it was called, I kind of hesitated before telling him “Protection Program.” He didn’t give me a ticket, but I thought it was pretty funny that I couldn’t drive straight because I was in such a good mood.” - Jessica Hillstrom
“I laughed till I stopped. Then I started up again. By the end it was less of a laugh and more of a yell, really. Crying was involved.” -Ian Swanson of The J Grimaldi Group
