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

The Wicked Wicked Hammerkatz presents "Reading Is For Dicks"
Ditch the Da Vinci Code, put down Harry Potter, and stop pouring over Reading Lolita in Tehran, because everybody knows you’re really just being a superior little ass. Instead, try checking out NYU's premier sketch troupe as they present a seamless showcase of original live and film sketches. And if you still need to feel important, you can always page through Angels and Demons during intermission. Dick.
