Maryland Ensemble Theatre to Present LAUGH STATION: FLUX, 7/26-27

Maryland Ensemble Theatre (MET) is proud to present another installment of the surreal, blood soaked, beer drenched, sci-fi horror extravaganza that is the Laugh Station series. The deranged exploits of the Laugh Station crew continue in Episode Seven: Flux!After failing to raise enough money to pay back Federation Creditors, the intrepid comedy explorers decide to bend the fourth dimension so that things turn out their way. Little do they realize the irreversible side effects of time travel, let alone the knife-wielding alien stalker who's hot on their trail. Only the wise/insane, old Time Master holds the key to their survival... now, if they could just sober up in time for curtain call! The surreal, mind-altering, sci-fi/comedy series returns this summer, with a special guest appearance from DC-based comedian, Mikael Johnson! If you enjoy breast milk, Sylvia Plath, telethons, schpace schnapps, The Bodyguard, WWF and/or cannabis smoking robots, then this one is for you!
