In the latest comic meditation from renowned playwright Murray Mednick, The Fool and the Red Queen experiments with archetypes to explore human nature and the processes of theater. A struggling actor named Gary finds himself at a nightmarish audition where the audience discovers the magical ability of the theater to create new realities -- in this case, a darkly funny and improvised play-within-a-play similar to Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and Marie and Bruce. Driven by poetic impulse rather than linear storytelling, The Fool and the Red Queen is a ruefully funny, lyrical look at the theater and the natural elements that drive us all. Learn More

General comic insanity periodically punctuated by hilarious lines. Don't take it too seriously or expect any niceties in the content, and you'll have a laugh.Written on Dec 07 2007

Charming, cozy venue, great Holiday-laden set and really fun show. I've got to say, the first half was $%$*&% brilliant. But then..my guess is they were drinking real beer on stage... and the show started tending toward the chaotic and lewd-for-lewd's sake. The characters went from BAWDY to a bit MESSY. I think it may have lost the audience for a spell? BUT all in all, still a rip-roaring great and unique night of cult theatre! I love that it started as Improv! What a great showcase for good actors! Great acting and the best trashy characters throughout! See it! You won't be sorry. You will LAUGH.Written on Dec 03 2007

Description
Every year, insurance agent Bob Finhead's whacked-out friends and clients stop by his small-town Iowa office for their annual holiday bash. The town mayor, the sheriff, the triplet farmer sisters, the stoner, the town floozy and the pastor's wife have already RSVPed for this year's event. But Bob has dreams of a bigger life and wants to escape their narrow-minded thinking. Will he be able to fulfill his dream of becoming a professional inventor and move to the big city, or will he come to realize how much he is the heart and soul of the town? Will any of this matter once the party starts, the bickering and fighting begin, and the drinks hit the floor?
Bob's Holiday Office Party originated as an improv sketch 12 years ago and has since developed into a seasonal tradition with a loyal cult following. Each year audience members (dubbed "Bobophiles" by the Los Angeles Times) follow the show to its new location.
Co-writer Rob Elk, who also stars as Bob, says, "Every year we tweak the script a little, so there are a few surprises for those people who keep coming back."
