Daddy Developed a Pill

by Cassie Hamilton

The gender-f*cked farce about pegging, prolapses and needing to piss. How far would you go to make Daddy proud?

 

Cynthia’s Daddy developed a pill that made her family very rich. Twenty years later, Cynthia has become the Daddy’s girl, girlboss she was always destined to be. It’s the launch party for her new pill, and all of Daddy’s friends are in attendance (and Daddy himself is definitely on his way!) Her pill is a marvel of innovation for wellness culture, a catalyst for introspection on a profound level. But Cynthia’s pill has a secret, one that she has kept from her tech bro best friend. A secret her poppers-puffing step-mummy couldn’t get a whiff of. Not even Bumblesnorts Tabatha, the MOST important person at this party, knows the power of Cynthia's pill. But they’re about to, because tonight, she's giving a demonstration…

 

Daddy Developed a pill is a chaotic queer comedy set over one raucous night of deviance and debauchery. A line-up of sixteen psychotic characters portrayed by only three actors means fast wit with even faster quick changes. Against a backdrop of an upper-middle-class identity crisis with mortal stakes, it’s Don’s Party meets Euphoria, meets an Apple keynote. Come see how terrible gay people can be!!!

Creative Team

Matt Heath

Director
Matt Heath is an actor and director based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, whose performances are frequently acclaimed as "tours de force" for his broad comic talent and transformative presentations. Matt studied theatre at Virginia Wesleyan University and has been acting and directing on stage, television, and film in New Mexico since 2007. He is known for his roles in Better Call Saul, where he played a man aggressively unhappy with his martini and Fantastic Force as the blustery Captain of an investigative force lead by a werewolf. Notable stage roles include Glengarry Glen Ross (Dave Moss), The Best Man (Joe Cantwell), 'Art' (Marc), November (President Charles "Chuck" Smith) and, most recently, Laughter on the 23rd Floor (as the Sid Caesar-like Max Prince). He is married with two wonderful children in a household abound with animals, including four pooches, two of which are rescue dogs, with always the possibility of more to come. "Some would rightly argue we have too many animals," Matt says, "I would say some of the best things in life are rescued." - IMDb Mini Biography By: Jennifer Collom
