A Pedophile Musical

And I thought Brokeback Mountain was over the top.

Around the holidays, the biggest challenge for many theater companies is convincing audiences to care about yet another staging of "A Christmas Carol." This season in Atlanta, however, Actor's Express wants to stir up buzz about a less familiar property -- namely, a pedophile musical.

The Express has already started pushing "Love Jerry," a new tunertuner written and composed by Megan Gogerty that follows the tortured story of Jerry, who develops a sexual relationship with his nephew while trying to stay friends with the boy's father.

That's just the thing for the Christmas season, a pedophile musical. "Springtime for Hitler" has nothing on these folks. The promo poster presented some obvious difficulties.

...Initial poster concepts featuring a man putting candy in a child's hand were jettisoned as being too frank. Now the promos are more suggestive, featuring an eerie shadow of a man in a clown nose staring into a room.

Makes me just want to write those checks to support the arts. What's next a Jeffrey Dahmer comedic farce? More than a wood shampoo is warranted here.
