Live Girls! theater, located in downtown Ballard on Northwest Market Street, is excited to present Vrooommm! A NAScomedy, a super charged spoof of America’s fastest sport!
An all female cast portrays the all-male universe of NASCAR daredevil antics, in this side-splitting summer sensation, written by Janet Allard and directed by Shawn Belyea. This is the second show in Live Girls! 10th anniversary season.
Shows start on June 19 and run through July 11, Fridays at 8 p.m. and Saturdays 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. and 8 p.m. Monday, June 29, and July 6. There are no shows on July 4.
In this high energy “NASComedy," the fast lane is stalled to a screeching halt by the arrival of a woman driver on the NASCAR circuit. When Holly “Legs” Nelson takes the lead in the season standings, egos are bruised, mullets are ruffled and all hell breaks loose on the circuit.
Sabotage, scandal and an all female cast combine to make an evening of high octane hijinks and crazy gender-fender-benders you won’t soon forget. The Vrooommm! universe offers up crazed fans, daredevil drivers, suspicious sponsors and more mustaches, beer and karaoke bars than you can imagine.
Vrooommm! was written by Jerome and Fulbright Fellow, Janet Allard a current core member of the Playwrights Center in Minneapolis. It was conceived and developed with Michael Bigelow Dixon, director of Studio Theater Programming and Associate Artist at the Guthrie Theater.
Directing the Live Girls! production is local director, actor and 14/48 and One World Theatre producer, Shawn Belyea, fresh off of directing the Balagan hit Picasso at the Lapin Agile. The all female cast includes Erin Stewart (Beta-Society and long time LG! Cabaret performer) Lisa Viertel (Twilight Zones Live! And Crescendo falls) Mandy Price (Recent Chicago transplant with an improv background touring with the famed Second City) Erin Kraft (800 Words, Quickies 8) and Susan Graf (The June Carter Cash Project and Quickies 8).
