Full of sharp parody and irreverent humor, ALTAR BOYZ is the hilarious spoof about a heavenly guy-group that is adored by audiences and critics alike. Produced by The Beck Center, ALTAR BOYZ is a sharp and polished pop-music parody with irreverent humor that tells the inspiring story of five small-town boys trying to save the world one screaming fan at a time.
