The Startup Culture

I wrote, produced and star in a musical parody, The Startup Culture, based on the music of The Pajama Game. We had a 15 show run at the PIT Loft January - March 2019. This musical tells the story of a gal, Babe, who’s worked on the bottom rung of a startup for too damn long. She’s fed up and she wants to get the same perks all the other startups get: Seltzer and a beer keg! A brand new engineer, Sid, is immediately smitten on Babe but doesn’t understand the beverage hoopla. Will Babe and her team, The Blackbelts, get their seltzer and beer? Will Sid snag Babe? Will Babe finally give in and bang a colleague? Will the CEO, Barron, give up a fraction of his trust fund to get the bottom of the barrel workers some bubbles?

Here’s a clip from the show! Featuring CEO Barron (Dillon Geyselaers) and Mabel (Maya Avisar). Barron doesn’t want to give in a give the Blackbelts what they want, he likes having money! Let’s see if Mabel can convince him otherwise.

Here’s another clip from the show! It’s Cyber Monday and all the Black Belts have a lot of work to do. Luckily Sid comes to help them out while also sneaking in some flirty flirts with Babe.
