    It's fast paced, it's funny, it's reminiscent of Drunk History. The Rockefeller Special holds a mirror up to consumers in a clever way. Additionally, within it's quippy, smart dialogue, this play contains some of the best insults I have ever seen. This play is a lot of fun for the actors and the audience.

    A bombastic, fuck-tastic takedown of the Patron Saint of Capitalism. Ryan doesn't let up for a second, crafting a mirage of muck stuffed with pocket oil, Teddy Roosevelt, and cheese (sweet glorious cheese). Fast, loose, and ugly, I can't wait to see this play performed.
