Chemically Imbalanced Comedy Presents SUCKED INTO SERVICE

By:

Chemically Imbalanced Comedy presents our next Encore Series "Sucked into Service". An evening of Comedic performances exploring two very different sides of the service industry. Brought to you by two of CIC's Artistic Associates Paul Whitehouse and Casey Pilkenton.

"1/2 Caf Chronicles" is a collection of semi-autobiographical stories about a young man's short lived career as a barista. The stories bring to life the absurd situations and eccentric personalities that he experienced as a professional maker of coffee. Written and performed by Paul Whitehouse

"Trapped in a Box" is the story of Audrey losing her patience, her drive, and her sanity working in a box office. Phone call after phone call, the people she speaks with can't find their credit cards, fail to believe the term "SOLD OUT" applies to them, and they all seem to mistake Audrey for some sort of life coach. If only the world could understand that she is an immense talent, and if only she could finish writing her acceptance speech for her future Academy Award. Written and performed by Casey Pilkenton
