Oedipus for Kids. A hysterical 3-person musical from the writers of Broadway Abridged. Performance rights now available.
"A spoof of children’s theater with some truly funny songs and endearingly
loopy performances from a cast of just three."
Charles Isherwood The New York Times
"Patterson
and Varod’s book captures a Christopher Durang-like sensibility that is
infectiously entertaining. Varod and Saferstein’s score is a total treat,
too."
