In Scotland, PA, revenge is a dish best served with fries. This deliciously dark new musical comedy, based on the
cult film (and the bard's Macbeth), springs to life in a sleepy Pennsylvania town (population 1,203—and
dropping), where a burger-joint manager (Ryan McCartan) and his wife (Taylor Iman Jones) cook up a plan to
super-size their lives. As their ambitions grow and the bodies fall, the couple finds out just how far they'll go for
a taste of the oh-so-tempting American dream.

The creative team for Scotland, PA includes Anna Louizos (scenic design), Tracy Christensen (costume design),
Jeanette Yew (lighting design), Jon Weston (sound design), and Frank Galgano and Matt Castle (orchestrations).
