Scalpel! March 31, 2010
San Francisco, California 94110
March 30-April 17 (World Premiere)
Written & Directed by D'arcy Drollinger
Imagine a world where Ivana Trump and Jocelyn Wildenstein enter The Matrix - where Dede Wilsey becomes Le Femme Nikita and "the ladies who lunch" moonlight as lethal assassins. Described as The Manchurian Candidate meets the Stepford Wives, Scalpel! cuts deep into two great American obsessions: beauty and conspiracy. A darkly comedic rock thriller, Scalpel! delights in a world where youth and perfection are the ultimate commodities- commodities worth killing for.
When wealthy New York socialite Jacquelyn Blithers' husband leaves her for a younger woman, her Upper
East Side life of fabulous fashion and exclusive parties takes a serious nose-dive. Her two body dysmorphic best pals nip the situation in the bud and lift Jac's sagging spirits by sending her to the Svengali of plastic surgery, Dr. Bulgari.
Jacqueline loves her new face until the nightmares begin…and when the people in her nightmares begin turning up dead, Jac realizes that something sinister lurks beneath the flawless complexions and tight skin of the social elite - these women are truly dressed to kill. Armed only with her loyal English butler, her feisty Puerto Rican maid and her six -inch Jimmy Choos, Jac must infiltrate a blood-chilling conspiracy bent on global domination, as she sings and dances her way to saving the world from certain doom.
Creating the visual magic are: Scenic Designer, Matt McAdon; Costume Designer, Abra Berman; and Fight Choreographer, Dave Maier.
Cast members include: David Bicha, Laurie Bushman, Deena Davenport, Mike Finn, Marilyn Fowler, Arturo Galster , Cindy Goldfield, Jordan L'Moore, Emily McGowan and Katie Rubin with band members Peter Fogel, Peggy L'eggs, Christian Matthews, Jeff Mitchell, and
Tim Perdue.
