INCORRUPTIBLE – FIREHOUSE THEATRE COMPANY
APRIL 10 - MAY 9, 2009
www.firehousetheatercompany.com
I'll be on stage once again as Brother Martin in this hilarious dark comedy for the dark ages. Welcome to Priseaux, France, c. 1250 A.D.: The river flooded again last week. The chandler's shop just burned to the ground. Nobody's heard of the wheelbarrow yet. And Ste. Foy, the patron of the local monastery, hasn't worked a miracle in thirteen years. In other words, the Dark Ages still look pretty dark. All seems lost until the destitute monks take a lesson from a larcenous one-eyed minstrel, who teaches them an outrageous new way to pay old debts.
Stay tuned for a cast list!

I'll be directing this hilarious regional premiere comedy. A safe-cracking robbery is no place for kleptomaniacs in recovery Maggie and Paul who join forces with Puerto Rican wannabe Flaco and the ultra-fabulous topless dancer Boochie in order to pull off the perfect crime and steal $750,000 in drug money. But when this rag-tag bunch of crooks gets caught, the perfect crime quickly turns into a high-octane, 12-Stepping, double-crossing, hysterical battle for survival.
