Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Scott Sickles does it again! In this marvelous little satire, he takes the dirty political tricks we see on the national stage--attacks on the press, the Big Lie, money laundering, petty burglary, name calling--and employs them in service of an intrigue to extend a contestant's reign as the perennial winner of the Klonopinto County Chili Cook Off. For example, a rival is forced to leave town when a rumor is circulated that she puts beans (gasp!) in her chili. Never fear. The Klonopinto County Picayune reveals all. Read it and laugh.

This play will put you smack dab in Klonopinto County where Chili-gate is in full swing. A hilarious political satire laced with just the right amount of spice (and no beans). I laughed out loud!

I love when I read a play to myself and I laugh out loud. This political thriller within a small town chili cook off and an all female cast is so high stakes that every chili pepper emoji may as well be a gun emoji! Also, solving crimes via Venmo emojis?! Brilliant! This has got to be fun to play and even more fun to watch!
