About This Show
From the “krazy” “goofs” who “brought” you Our Flat Earth, comes Christmas: Computerized!!!!! When Tim Racine of A Tectonic Slosh–formerly The Iconoclasts (it’s an anagram, look it up)–discovered one of the worst plays ever “written,” he and fellow Slosher Mark Chrisler set about making it worse. The product of this misguided experiment is Christmas: Computerized!!!!!, a late-night musical-a-go-go-romp-tacular about the wonders of Christmas, technology, commercialism and euthanasia.
Conservative Bea (Elizabeth Landers) is embroiled in a conundrum: namely, to kill her mother or just let her die. She comes to egocentric “heart-throbs” Tim and Mark, for advice. Reminded — inexplicably — of the period they spent with Father Time as children, this duo of megalomaniacs begin a retelling of the first Christmas ever, somewhere in the late seventies. With help from Bea and their smart-alecky Butler “Jolson” (Varrick Douglas), they imaginact those good old days — when Father Time (Ben Cannon) ordered his first computer to run the holidays more efficiently. But little will you know when that doesn’t happen, because it’s surprising.
This hour-long late-night play-within-a-play is “jam packed” with music, obscenity, counter-culture, hurt-feelings, comedy and hyphens. A “bluer” Christmas than Elvis ever imagined, Christmas: Computerized!!!!! is intended for adult audiences only. And frankly, there’s a pretty large cross-section of adult audiences that will be offended as well.
