Gosh Darn Fiasco

"The Frivolous Ado of Madame Baudelaire's Frock" may be the biggest hit since "Hamilton"... or the biggest flop since "Cats vs. Hamilton: Enter the Dark." The cast is fighting, the director and stage manager are sleeping together, there are glove problems, and maybe.... a PHANTOM? Everything should be fine as long as the prop frocks are in the right box, and everyone gets that the Hitler-loving love interest is the BAD GUY. I'm sure it'll be fine.... This playset is "Break A Leg" by John Kelly & Megan Pedersen! Check out our players this week: Angela M.

McMurdo Station, Antarctica. It seems like a nice place to hang out, open a coffee shop, go to college—but it turns out, it's sort of terrible. The University is hoarding information, a newcomer carries a terrible secret, and suddenly, a barista and a professor discover a dead body in a purple jumpsuit! What does it mean, and what do the Hairy-Chested Yeti Crabs have to do with it? If you become a science deputy, we might just be able to tell you what's happening. Check out our players!

The City of OurTown has six news stations, and all of them are vying for the Peabody Award for News Excellence. Animal News One has the best zoo news thanks to the OTTER BROS, News Channel 6 has some exciting stories (some of them seem made up, though), and Action News 11 has some amazing secrets about other stations and their financial mismanagement—and a very dedicated intern named Crate, or Clamp, or something. Of course, there is a Malaria outbreak in OurTown, but that doesn't really seem newsworthy when there's so much ZOO NEWS! Enjoy love, death, and art films in this episode of GOSH DARN FIASCO!

The Muppets have made some powerful enemies. Well, maybe not "powerful," per se. But security guard Buck Friendly, wanna-be criminal Frankie Banklin, disillusioned marketing assistant Courtney Date and experienced robber Snuffleupagus Philms have a plan. Well, not a "plan," per se. But someone needs to find out what the Henson Company is hiding in that underground lab, and this might just be the crew to do it! Check out our players!

At Our Lady Of Perpetual Sorrows, the balance has been disrupted. A tell-all book has just been anonymously released telling the secrets the order, and a new Mother Superior has come in to get to the bottom of the scandal. But she's been seen talking to a large rodent and a man in a top hat—and something strange is happening in the basement with tin foil. And have you noticed how big the tulips are this year? In this episode, players Keith Baker, Molly Lewis, Jenn Ellis and Jeremiah Shepersky join your host Angela Webber in playing "Bad Habits," a playset set in a convent in Punxsutawney, PA.

Seattle is a city with interesting problems. There's the annual bread bake-off, of course. There are rumors of Bigfoot sightings in the woods. There are vigilante superheroes who keep the status quo. Into this mix comes Charlie Barley, the new CEO of Magic: The Gathering—and he wants to disrupt everything.

It's witches and cats and "magic?" in this episode, where we play "SALEM 1692"—a setting about the Salem Witch Trials.

In this episode, our players are a TOURING ROCK BAND, WHEN THE MUSIC STOPPED, in a playset about a band who used to be famous. We find space-themed a cappella band Teenage Space Falcon 20 years after their last world tour. One member is a farmer with a pet falcon, another is a lawyer, another a roadie with a mysterious accent. Can the reality show "GETTING THE BAND BACK TOGETHER" get the band back together? And will the UFO Beacon on the roof ever start beeping like it did back in the day? Let's find out together! Featuring Lucia Fasano, Richard Malena, Kyle McCormick & Pat Rafferty!

In this episode, our players head to CAMP DEATH, a playset written by James Gabrielsen all about a haunted camp with a mysterious past and lots of problems. The counselors come early to set up and are greeted by a bus driver who loves PBJs, a messed up squirrel corpse, and a forest that takes impressionable youths and turns them into experienced hunters.
