Culture Vultures: The Pop Culture Game Show

Culture Vultures is a Fast Paced Pop Culture Game Show that combines

elements of Jeopardy, Double Dare and Remote Control.
Contestants

battle together to see who knows more useless facts and trivia about

everything from Jessica Simpson to Quinzo's Sub commercials.
In addition to showing off their trivia prowess every contestant also has to perform along side our Sketch Performers in specially designed performance challenges.
When it's all over there will only be one True Culture Vulture.

GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL!

Johann Gutenberg invented the printing press in 1450, so Bud Davenport and Doug Simon wrote a musical about him. They don't have a cast, a budget, or a producer — but they have a dream, and that might just be enough.

“One of the most clever performances in the city.” (New York Metro)

It's the “true” story of Gutenberg, his buxom wench Helvetica, and an evil Monk, hell-bent on keeping the masses illiterate.

“Gutenberg! The Musical! is ostensibly a backer’s audition to get Doug and Bud’s damaged brainchild to the Great White Way. In reality, though, it’s a savvy satire by Anthony King and Scott Brown, who send up the musical genre with … affection, scorn and wonderfully bad songs,” (Time Out New York)

Gutenberg! The Musical! celebrates the monstrous success of Bud and Doug’s idiocy. It is a tuneful, tactless triumph, with a big bleeding heart where its head should be.

Written and performed by Anthony King & Scott Brown

Musical Accompaniment & Direction by Barry Wyner

Directed by Charlie Todd
