This Is The Week That Is 20th Anniversary Special

 

1812 Productions presents This is The Week That Is 20^th Anniversary Special through December 31, 2025. Every member of the ensemble, Newton Buchanan, Lee Minora, Connor McAndrews, Pax Ressler, Lexi Thammavong, and Robyn Unger adds their own spark of brilliance to this extraordinarily entertaining performance. While the company has been engaging in political humor and social satire for 20 years, this production is the most sophisticated and delightful one ever  presented. Movie Sequels sequences require quick change of costume and videography. Ineffectuals is the least effective of several. It stars Superheroes who are incapable of deciding anything and cannot live up to their name. It is amusing unless you are waiting for health care coverage to be passed. The Twilight Zone brings out several chuckles from the audience. A Congresswoman stops into a Cracker Barrel in dire need of a bathroom but needs reassurance that the bathrooms are assigned to the sex at birth. When it has been discovered that aliens have stolen toilets from the Women’s room, a difficult decision arises. Also popular with the audience is a Back to the Future sequence wherein a teenager and her Grandpa do dance routines and then ride a scooter back to older decades, only to discover that wherever she travels, her parents’ arguments are the same and no one celebrates her birthday. Lee Minora replaces long-time news desk anchor Dave Jadico and she is excellent. Lexi Thammavong is adorable as Lee interviews her as a young TikTok influencer. Patsy (Jen Childs) is on the stoop via video, but I have received feedback that people have missed seeing her read “’T’was the Night Before Christmas” live. Next year Jen.
