"The Great Pie Robbery"

"The Great Pie Robbery ... or We Really Knead the Dough" Spoofs Midcentury Melodramas

"The Great Pie Robbery ... or We Really Knead the Dough" is a hilarious play that mocks those turn-of-the-century melodramas -- You know, the ones where the damsel in distress is tied to the train tracks, desperate to be saved by her knight in shining armor? Here, we have the grand Skunk Valley and the local pie shop, both in danger of domination by the evil, mustache-twirling Vincent Von Villenueva. It's up to Chicken Farmer John to save Ma and Pa Baker's dessert haven and win the heart of his damsel, the beautiful shop girl. Bring the family to witness this wacky gang of characters at the Elektra Theatre in New York City.
