Synopsis: | Bug Blowmonkey loves music. Bug Blowmonkey loves a woman. Bug Blowmonkey loves cocaine. Two of these things are good for him, but the other one is messing him up. Bad. Wanna take a guess which one? Bug knows the blow is taking him down a dark path, but can't quit it on his own. Luckily, he has a spirit guide to help him out of his hole, and towards the 'light' he seeks: Marvin Gaye. Granted, Marvin is also a drug-addled paranoiac (and dead for 20 years), but beggars can't be choosers when it comes to spirit guides, it seems. Will Bug, with the help of Marvin Gaye and a stuffed buffalo in The Museum of Natural History, be able to overcome his addiction and fight the haunting, taunting spirit of the girlfriend he lost to win the heart of a new woman in his life, who may be able to save him from himself? Will he find his 'light?' Will he figure out why every person he sleeps with has a tail? Will this whole story be told in a fast, jumpy, non-linear style, full of hysterical one-liners and astonishing situations? At least three of these questions will be answered in a viewing of Marc Spitz's play, The Hobo Got Too High, which is is an hour of sex, drugs, rock and roll, romance, nonsequiturs, vast numbers of curse words, retractable penises, and an appraisal of Diane Lane's breasts | |||||

Synopsis: | play by Marc Spitz is the tale of hapless Walter Dabney. Dabney is not big on commitment. Both the soul of his writing and his ten year marriage have started to suffer for it. Walter can't even commit to his mistress, Annie as their affair grows more and more serious. But when he takes a Viagra-like pill called Themis one morning during a tryst, he is finally forced to commit to something: THE FOUR HOUR ERECTION THEY WARN ABOUT IN THE COMMERCIAL! It's the worst possible timing. Everyone in the City he does not want to run into and some he's never even met show up, amounting to a brutal afternoon of reckoning for Walter and the kind of wild night of theater that only this crew can provide. | |||||
