<i>Late Show with David Letterman</i> comedy writer Steve Young, who’s also written for
<i>The Simpsons</i> and Lorne Michaels, appears in person to share his fascination (obsession?) with industrial musicals that was first explored in Dava Whisenant’s 2018 documentary
<i>Bathtubs over Broadway</i>. In his live show, Young takes a deeper dive into the rarefied realm of corporate show biz that spawned such off-off Broadway hits as
<i>Diesel Dazzle</i> and the American-Standard plumbing-fixture spectacular <i>The Bathrooms Are Coming</i>. Produced to promote the selling of consumer goods, and never intended to be seen by the general public; these musicals were performed at company conventions,
product launches, and sales meetings. Young’s show features films documenting some of the jaw-dropping singing and dancing extravaganzas commissioned by Purina, General Electric, Kellogg’s, Hamm’s Beer, and others, and includes bizarre clips you won’t see
on YouTube or any place else. But his presentation is more than just vintage film; it’s an evening of behind-the-scenes stories, wild album covers, affectionately snarky commentary, and even live music! As a curtain-raiser, we will screen two 2021 Dava Whisenant
short comedies that Young wrote and starred in, <i>Photo Op </i>and <i>Brief Survey</i>, both featured in the 2022 Cleveland Int’l Film Festival. DCP. Total approx. 105 min.
<i>Special admission $20; members, CIA/CSU I.D. holders, age 25 & under $17; no passes. Thanks to Michael Toth.
