The show opens on Monday, November 14th and will run through Monday, February 13th (with
a new episode premiering every other week) at The Kraine Theater (85
East Fourth Street, between 2nd & 3rd Ave, Bowery, first floor). "The fictional metropolis of Crescendo Falls
thrives on the decadent affairs and backstabbing antics of its
beautiful but deadly, double crossing, bed-hopping and always perfectly
groomed residents who will stop at nothing to fulfill their wants and
desire," state press notes. "In this comedy parody of soap operas, a
dysfunctional family's loyalties are put to the test while trying to
maintain the family business atop the present day volatile recording
industry.In addition to outlandish story lines and insatiable
lovemaking, other soap opera conventions are skewered as well. Women
carry babies full term in a matter of weeks, tots grow to teens in a
matter of months; characters who never leave the show tend to have
multiple actors playing the part; and deadly peril comes with the
territory on a weekly basis. The double crossing, bed-hopping and
always perfectly groomed residents of Crescendo Falls will stop at
nothing to fulfill their wants and desire, living up to the town's
motto with flying colors: Crescendo Falls - Beautiful People, Ugly
Town."
