'If you are open to hearing classically trained opera singers conduct perfectly harmonized rounds while a personified intestine dances around or a giant makeshift dildo accidentally rolls under your seat, this is the show for you. ... Should not be skipped.' - Drama in the Hood

'Sharp and relevent ... unexpected and f*cking hilarious.' - NW Theater

American Prize Finalist & Special Judges' Citation 2023 (#adulting2)

"can u f**king not?"

Imagine the millennial version of Seinfeld. Now imagine it set to operatic music. There's a singing couch, a requiem mass for a cell phone, a trial for a missing cake, all the things that the operatic canon has been yearning to sing about for centuries.
