Plot
Peter, a highly demanding with borderline personality who believes is creating avant-garde theatre. Being a bastard yet charming, he has been reduced to a janitor in a rehearsal studio and it works well for him because he can use the stage on the off hours. He then beguiles his unfortunate actors into playing a series of appalling acting experiences that gradually become more demented and eventually out of control.[1]

Starring John Shea as Peter, Tasha Lawrence as a playwright who persuades Peter to direct the play the studio is putting on, and Tanya Clarke, Todd Simmons, Shula Van Buren and Warren Press as the actors.
