The Beckoning

What happens when Glenn Beck's second banana falls in love with an outspoken Occupy Wall Street woman? Find out in "The Beckoning," a satirical political comedy musical starring Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Rachel Maddow, Chris (and Dave) Matthews, and of course, an Occupy Wall Street camp and its members. And let's not forget Sarah Palin and many other surprise guests, including Mitt Romney and friends. A fast-paced, sharp-edged laugh fest, "The Beckoning" brings song parodies, broadcast parodies of both Beck, Limbaugh and MSNBC (including commercials in a multimedia format) featuring a live band and a cast that will keep you smiling as it filets modern politics and entertainment.

Written and directed by Dan Bernard, of whose last such performance critics said:

"Sharp-edged wit, well-executed, finely scripted, never a dull moment." Portland Phoenix
"Packs more laughs into 90 minutes than Saturday Night Live has delivered in the last decade. Excellent cast." Portland Forecaster

Bernard has penned and directed many full-cast audio theater-of-the-absurd comedies. His political comedy music and parody has played Toronto, Boston and southern Maine in both theaters and comedy clubs. His most recent screenplay was in collaboration with National Book Award winner Phillip Hoose.
