Slap Happy

Easyshow 50
Multi-Act - Comedy by Mike Eserkaln
Cast
Male: 5
Female: 2
Some smaller role can be played by the same actor, or a larger cast can be used


Description
Can 3 Morons with 3 million dollars run for the Presidency and win? No? How about 3 Billion dollars?.... by gosh, they could do it.

A political satire/farce in the style of a Marx Brothers comedy. The gags come fast and big. Broad comedy.

Writing credits should include: Mike Eserkaln, Mike Lorenz, Tony Mayer, Tim Miller

Additional Notes
The songs used in the production can be very simple 3 chord ukulele, or if you like we can send you a version of the song used in the Venture Theatre 2007 production free of charge.... just ask.

Reviews
The play is a fast-paced, high-energy romp that teases presidential politics to the hilt. It's funny.

One exchange: "Do you think $3 billion is enough to run for office?" Pause

Production History
Venture Theatre - De Pere, WI 2007
