Book Between Rock and a dead place for your next event!

Show Requirements:

The show is moderate on costumes, and light on set & props needed.
The show works best if there is a light board available to cue flashback sequences and a sound system to play music.
The show works best if there is a place just off stage where actors can wait for their entrances.

*Depending on your location, we prefer to bring at least the lead characters with us to each event to ensure the best possible performance. In most cases, event coordinators prefer to supply their own actors for the supporting/minor roles. If you would like for us to supply the whole cast or any portion of the cast beyond the lead actors, that can be arranged for an additional fee. If you would prefer to buy the script without having us supply any of the actors, that can be arranged as well.

REVIEW:

Tina Jackson and Elise Mayfield's script has substantially more heft than the usual improv-based silliness. The archetypal characters are immediately familiar, the custom-composed music inoffensive, and a fight scene that's nothing short of spectacular. Between Rock And A Dead Place could emerge as summer entertainment tailor-made for weekend hipsters looking to relax between sweaty club scrimmages.
