Calling the Shots: A Comedy in One Act

Dark Comedy/Sarcastic/Crime Comedy7 Males/5 Females/3 EitherCharlie Bagley, the mayor of a large city, is well-love but has a hard time keeping his sarcasm to himself. But he is far from unmatched; his wife, Dana, keeps up every step, and their ex-con butler isn't far behind. When the mayor's daughter, known for her lack of discretion, brings home yet another boyfriend, the audience gets the sense something isn't right, especially when all the cinema posters in the city are being filled with bullets. Add a next-door neighbor with mental issues, an egocentric movie star couple, a visit from the eccentric mayor of Dusseldorf, Germany with her energetic, narcoleptic, son, and the appearance of a popular handgun, and nobody knows how it will end, except for the playwright, of course.
