The Peoples Improv Theater (The PIT) is proud to present the premiere of The Startup Culture: The Musical by Molly Barrett, running January 16th through March 14th, 2019 at The PIT Loft.
A spin on the musical comedy classic The Pajama Game, The Startup Culture: The Musical is the world's first all-singing, all-dancing satirical explosion of the WeWork set. It's centered on "The Blackbelts" - entry level employees at Startup.com. The Blackbelts watch as mediocre men get promoted while they are busting their buns for pennies. Their trust fund baby of a CEO is trying his hardest to keep his wealth all to himself while the Blackbelts just want to get the seltzer and a beer keg that all other startups get. A new coder, Sid, joins the company and is immediately smitten on the leader of the Blackbelts, Babe. Babe is not one for office romances, she has a career to uphold, after all. It's Leave it to Beaver meets Wet Hot American Summer with a dash of Mad Men and is definitely NSFW. Come MeetUp with this laugh-riot this winter at The PIT Loft!
