Rock-and-roll was invented by corporations to sell cars and sex to teenagers. Indie rock was invented by teenagers who weren’t into cars or sex. Pop music is a CIA plot, like MK Ultra or Abstract Expressionism. Gender is a pyramid scheme; religion is a performance. Texas is both a gender and a religion. How about you? What’s your whole deal? You sure about that?

A punk elitist attempts to sell his band on a rock opera he wrote about meeting his favorite pop star. But first he has to explain why he has a favorite pop star, why it’s Katy Perry, why he wrote a rock opera about it, and how it all ties into his new look, most succinctly described as “she.”

This production is making its world premiere with The Catastrophic Theatre.
