Writer-performer Morgan Brayton crafts a collection of richly detailed and hilarious characters, including a stoner class-of-’84 valedictorian whose speech is written on the inside of a pack of cigarettes, and a moth describing her love affair with a flame. The characters are often ridiculous, but Brayton always gets convincingly inside their heads and their worlds: “I’ve been oppressed my whole life and I didn’t even realize it,” exults a dreadlocked young thing who’s just discovered her infinitesimal Native heritage. Director Shawn Macdonald keeps the pace crisp, and a whole other set of laughs come from the insanely catchy songs (by Brayton and Laura Lee Schultz) that cover the costume changes. Go see it—and knock over some garbage cans on the way.
