by
Lucas Papaelias and Deborah Smith
directed by Lou Moreno
A darkly comic rock-musical-theater piece that chronicles the exploits of several individuals involved, on various levels, of a pyramid scheme-based company called Pyramidica, which has quantified Freedom as an actual commodity, and promises abundant Freedom opportunities for both its clients and its employees. The more energy one dedicates to bringing others in to sign up to work for Pyramidica, the more Freedom it is possible to obtain.
