Inspired by the long-running hit NPR show Car Talk -- which is hosted by legendary (real-life) mechanics Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers -- comes the hilarious new musical comedy, Car Talk: The Musical!!! at Central Square Theater. A co-production of Underground Railway Theater and Suffolk University, the show was written by Suffolk faculty member Wesley Savick, with original music by Michael Wartofsky. In it, Rusty Fenders, the hapless owner of a lemon '93 Kia, falls in love with Miata C. LaChassis. She guides him to the Emerald Garage, home to the Wizard of Cahs (portrayed by the recorded, heavily accented voices of Click and Clack themselves). Like the radio show, it's a romantic comedy about being in love with your car -- and so, so much more. Learn More

Excellent play and outstanding acting and multimedia presentation.Written on Nov 08 2008
Seating on chairs on bleachers made me a bit nervous. Glad I only paid half price on Gold Star because full price tickets tickets seem over-priced for the comfort of this small theater.

More Information About Martha Mitchell Calling
Description
Eclipsing her husband, Attorney General John Mitchell, as a household name, Martha Mitchell was dubbed “The Mouth of the South” and gained worldwide recognition for her outspokenness and famous phone calls to the press about matters the Nixon-era conspirators wanted kept quiet. Passionate and willing to take a stand, Martha used her influence and intelligence to blow the whistle on the Nixon administration. Said President Nixon in a 1977 interview with David Frost, “If it hadn’t been for Martha, there’d have been no Watergate.” Mitchell, who didn’t live to see herself vindicated, receives a tribute of courage in this powerful and humorous play.
Playwright Jody Rothe is also an accomplished screenwriter/producer. She developed and sold two original television movies to CBS, and has written for the Lifetime series The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd and for the Fox series Glory Days.
