TIME/PLACE: Today, over in the United States (the saddest place on earth)
He’s poor. She’s dead. They’re a whore. She’s got a yeast infection… And, they need you to SUPPORT THE ARTS!

Picking up where Disney leaves off, our fable is from the vantage point of the troublemaking “grown-ups” after the curtain on those gleeful high school musicals. Losers Vinnie (a genderqueer slut) and Boris (the hangry abortion who lived) find their expensive music degrees have left them nearly homeless and ludicrously penniless. When their alma mater commissions a government-funded televised play to save the National Endowment for the Arts, the two broke antiheroes pen a jolly show about poverty — HOBO HEAVEN: TURN OFF THE POOR. Psychotic teachers, violent angels, and a stoned Martha Stewart join forces as our Bohemian writers rescue the arts through the politics of an American high school in this multicultural barely-legal festival of friendship, artistic prostitution, magic, chlamydia, and reefer madness!
Littered with leprosy, irritating fundraisers, and the greatest 10:13 showstopper in the history of Polish folk songs, Not Another High School Musical explores the creation of art, the pros/cons of selling out, and the self-discovery process artists must endure as it violates your senses. The eclectic and baffling 18-song original score of such whimsical tunes as “Hobo Heaven”, “An Apple a Day”, “Whore For the Arts”, “Children Are the Future”, “In the Shadows”, “Good Thing”, and “You’re Still Jewish?” (deemed too offensive) will leave audiences crying as the story crashes to a chilling resolution...although we did cut the risqué and expensive scene where Martha Stewart cooks the turkey in a trash can.
NOT ANOTHER HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL is a farce grounded in greed, desperation, and artistic integrity. Stuffed with jokes and situations that make for hilarity, it also features characters who hold a mirror up to ourselves. At the heart of any farce lies truth. As the story reaches the sentiment via the satire, it should evoke pathos. It’s Absurdist, vulgar, shocking…but at its core, explores personal growth in a transitional “No-man’s land” of aging, unrealized dreams, and identity. And nuns.
