THE WATER COOLERS ARE COMING TO THE GEORGE DAILY AUDITORIUM, WORKPLACE FUELS AWARD-WINNING COMEDY GROUP THAT SINGS
The Water Coolers
OSKALOOSA, IA — The George Daily Auditorium in Oskaloosa presents a quirky comedy revue by a troupe that highlights what we talk about at work. On Friday, Feb. 17 at 7:30 p.m., The Water Coolers (www.seethewatercoolers.com) offers their unique blend of comedy, original songs and song parodies based on the foibles and experiences everyone talks about around the water cooler at work…or just wish they could.
Conceived by one of the creators of the long-running New York hit “Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding,” The Water Coolers celebrate – and skewer – work, life, and balancing the two. From pretending you understand what the IT guy is saying (“The IT Cowboy”) to fending off aggressive salesparents (“Who Will Buy This Crap For My Kid’s School”) to the inflated inner dialogue of the cute guy in the office (“Male Office Hottie”), The Water Coolers reveal the underpinnings of workplace life in hilarious and insightful songs and sketches performed by Broadway veterans.
“Of all the showcases at the Midwest Arts Conference where we first saw The Water Coolers,” said George Daily’s Executive Director, Randall Wright, “this was the most popular one by far.”
Hailed as “…a breezy, satirical ‘Dilbert’-like musical revue that tickles the ears and funny bones” by the Associated Press and acclaimed by E! Entertainment Television and reviewers across the country, The Water Coolers dead-on observations are drawn from the real life experiences of the creators, cast and crew. Executive producer Sally Allen is a former management consultant; the unique writing staff includes successful, working New York composers and comedy writers and people who still have their day jobs in sales or publishing, plus one retired CEO. The show and the team are led by actor / comedy writer Thomas Michael Allen, a creator of the smash hit “Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding.”
The performance will run in two 45 minute acts with an intermission. Tickets, including group rates, are available through the George Daily box office at (641) 672-0799 or online at www.georgedaily.org.
