ACME: A Company That Makes Everything!

Recommended by

  • Larry Rinkel: ACME: A Company That Makes Everything!

    A zany, manic, cartoonish, often hilarious satire on a kind of Steve Jobs-led corporation (ACME: A Company that Makes Everything, except nothing works). ACME is told with diamond-sharp, rhythmic dialogue, and a fast-paced, wound-up plot. It’s like a comic book come to life complete with a demon bird, a wily coyote, a void, a death ray, upgrade patches, just the usual shit in everyday corporate America, headed by Walter Avery the megalomaniac CEO. Technically challenging to stage, but no wonder it was picked up (solely from the director's browsing NPX) by a Long Island theater for their 2019...
