Squeaky Bicycle Productions is delighted to announce the world premiere of Pop Dies in Vegas, a madcap bloodbath about the perils of life at the top of the charts. Coming July 13-29!
Our hero is Casper, a golden-voiced pop idol who has just made the mistake of turning eighteen. Forgotten by his public, Casper faces the ugly choice of fading into obscurity or, worse, growing up. Instead he embarks on a poorly executed attempt to retire a legend by faking his own death. All that stands in his way is common sense and a bathtub full of blood.
The author of this teenybopper murder-farce is W.M. Akers, a reporter, NYU alum, and recipient of the John Golden Playwrighting Prize in Excellence. Developed as part of our annual Winter Reading Lab, Pop Dies in Vegas is Akers’ first collaboration with Squeaky Bicycle Productions.
