Quick, smart, and funny. Would be a blast to produce for student actors and directors!

Fast paced and fun to read. HEIST! is the quintessential Murphy's Law. You just can't help but feel for the two thieves!

Heist! is wall-to-wall laughs, with two bumbling thieves, a docent who steals the scene, and a robbery that just keeps spiraling. It’s fast, ridiculous, and packed with moments that’ll have audiences cracking up from start to finish.
