Looking Glass Playhouse, Lebanon, IL – 2021
Dr. Ted Scheider
Disaster expert. This campy, nostalgia-filled jukebox musical features hits from the ’70s and the Disco era. Inspired by ’70s disaster movies like The Poseidon Adventure, The Towering Inferno, and Earthquake, the story follows a scientist trying to save a casino boat on the Hudson from cataclysmic problems. Despite his efforts, he is ignored by the boat’s owner and falls in love with a nightclub singer who has boy and girl twins (played by the same actor). I also built the working slot machine for the production.
