Tony Trout

Friday, Dec. 2, Barrymore Theatre, 8 pm

A who’s-who of Madison actors and musicians come together for an original musical show written, composed and rehearsed in just one week. This year’s wham bam of an election plays a central role in the show’s nine vignettes, which range from goofy farce to hard-hitting mockery — all set to music! Obamacare confronts the grim reaper in Scythe of Relief. You can probably guess the inspiration behind Beano the Super Clown and the League of Laughter in...The Orange Man Chronicles. And the creators of off-Broadway’s Walmartopia (including Isthmus arts editor Cat Capellaro) reunite for the political satire Pussy Grabs Back. In keeping with the theme, audience-nominated hometown heroes John Nichols of The Capital Times, Shannon Barry of Domestic Abuse Intervention Services and community activists Callen Harty and Stephanie Rearick will also be speaking.
