Notes:
This show utilized recordings of many classic comedy sketches and music from the retro 1950s in this wonderfully funny tribute to the days of vaudeville. The most unique sound effect in this show was the creation of a 1970s-style soap opera that came from a television on stage.

Notes:
The Director's vision cast this show in the light of a cheesy horror film. To achieve this, the soundscape of a creaky house created an eerie atmosphere for a minimalistic set.
