Dick Pix Montana

In fair Verona, Wisconsin, where we lay our scene...

Broom Street Theater presents an original premiere never-before-seen Shakespearean cyber-thriller courtroom drama romantic tragicomedy with psychosexual undertones, from the writer of "Spread the Nudes" and "Lobotomy: the Musical!"

If you must know: it's about a modern-day Romeo and Juliet, banished by their parents, who can communicate only through Messenger, Snapchat, Instagram, and Facebook. Romeo (Richard) is the star safety for the Jets high school football team. At Julia's urging, he snaps a photo of his, um, masculine silhouette...except he posts it to his Snapchat story instead of the intended object of his affection. O Romeo, wherefore didst thy thumb slippeth while using Snapchat?

Everyone in the teeming metropolis of Verona, Wisconsin, happens to see...it. Due in no small part to Julia's dad's connections with the local DA, Rich is arrested and charged with two felonies. What destiny awaits our modern-day Romeo? Probably incarceration, possibly the sex offender registry, perhaps suicide, or maybe even true love...maybe.

Dick Pix Montana opened June 2nd at Madison's Broom Street Theater, with a one-night only special engagement at the Alchemist in Milwaukee on June 11th! Advance tickets are $10 advance, with an early-bird buy-one-get-one special through May 31st. $15 if you wait to buy tickets at the door. Like a sucker.
