Details: A group of co-workers from a greeting card company meet for a team building exercise at their boss's home. The exercise? A game of Tag... with skillets. It's a tale of sex, lies, murder, chainsaws, anal beads, and of course.... skillets. From the Artistic Director, Andy Batt : If Clowntime Is Over represents MadLab's mind, then Skillet Tag is its gut. It's a show that's just freaking hilarious, irreverent, fast-paced, violent, and did I say funny? It's a great send-up of the classic parlor plays where characters keep coming in and out of the same room from a dozen different doors/directions. This one is just a bit more on the edge than most.
