SYNOPSIS:
In the vein of Book of Mormon, BEYOND THE PEEL follows a young archaeology PhD failure named Harvey whose mentor Professor faked his death to steal Harvey's research on a forgotten tribe of Mayans called the Chicomulcatec, only to travel to that region of Guatemala himself to enslave the Chicomulcatec tribe and seat himself at the top of a banana empire of violence and virgin sacrifice. The Professor has built himself up as a tiki-god to the people, known only as "El Tom." After having to move back home with his loving, filter-lacking mother Edie, Harvey witnesses a crime in a local grocery store that lands him kidnapped and shipped to Guatemala where professor and student eventually meet again, and all of Harvey's research is proven correct in the worst way. The whole idea started when I was in a Trader Joe's a while ago and wondering why their bananas are so suspiciously cheap.
Show runs approx. 70 minutes with no intermission.
Beer & wine available.
Special opening music performance by Kaitlin Huwe and Russell Angelico!
