i liked the show! i thought the performances were really good, and i loved the fisticuffs =). the production had a little of everything — it was funny, it was dark, and it kept us talking about the ending even as we left the theater (always a plus!).

I was a bit confused with the dialogue the first few minutes and couldn't really tell where it was going, but when J-Ho and Wayne made their appearance on stage it was all a hoot and things started falling into place. Diane Hren (J-Ho) and Jordan H. (Wayne) were hilarious. There were some twists and turns along the way, which kept me wondering what was going to happen next. I don't want to say too much and give anything away, but the twist was a shocker, fo'shizzle and I really very much enjoyed the performances.

A dark, violent play with elements of humor in a few places. It was a good story and the acting was great.

More Details About This Event:

Rusty Pipe is a dark comedy of mysterious identities, power-plays and violent acts as two men attempt  to discover the mysterious “world-changing” power of a little rusty pipe.

Trent and Eugene sit in a nondescript room, verbally sparring as they await the owners of a very important, mysterious miracle machine or device they are to purchase for their bosses. When the sellers arrive, though, they are nothing like the scientists or high-level business-men the men expected. Instead, appearing as if they’ve come straight from trailer-park hell, Wayne and Jenny introduce themselves as the suppliers, leaving the men absolutely bewildered. Trent and Eugene are further perplexed as the couple proceeds to verbally antagonize them and tender a small, rusty metal pipe as the supposed world-changing transaction in exchange for millions of dollars in cash. As tensions rise to a peak, all hell breaks loose. Secret identities are exposed, powers violently shift and the “magic” of the little “rusty pipe” is revealed, leading to a bloody, disastrous conclusion.
