FORGET YOUR ANTACIDS!  

COME HUNGRY FOR LAUGHTER

 AT THE WORLD PREMIERE OF

A CROCK OF SCHNITZEL

 IN CONJUNCTION WITH 2010 PHILADELPHIA FRINGE FESTIVAL!

Playwright Barbara Pease Weber has cooked up another decadent new comedy, A Crock of Schnitzel, to premiere in conjunction with the 2010 Philadelphia Fringe Festival at The German Society of Pennsylvania at 7th and Spring Garden Streets.   

Everyone knows that adjusting to married life can often be a trying time for a young bride.  However, for newlywed Ashley Wagner, marriage turns out to be an out of this world experience!  For starters, the antique cuckoo clock, a family heirloom, given to Ashley and her husband, Greg, by Greg’s Bavarian busybody of an Auntie as a wedding gift has…well…an unusual defect.  The time piece has a wormhole which, when Greg turns back the clock to Standard Time, opens a time warp that catapults Ashley back in time.  

She finds out that she is pregnant and married to Greg’s father, Klaus!  Ach du Lieber!  Is Ashley then…Greg’s MOTHER???  Expecting a baby and stuck in a time warp with a broken cuckoo clock and a different husband, Ashley comes to realize that her life has turned into A Crock of Schnitzel. 

A Crock of Schnitzel is a scrumptious comedy for everyone who, at one time or another, has overindulged in a cornucopia of culinary decadence resulting in both night terrors and a whopper of a belly ache!  Come enjoy every hilarious morsel of A Crock of Schnitzel!  A German lesson in every bite!
