Enjoy songs like “Why Mansplaining is For Your Own Good,” “ Everyone Who’s Homophobic is Secretly Gay,” and the tap-dancing show stopper “Sacrifice.” This motley crew of cosmonauts and cephalopods will have you laughing, applauding, and rooting for our alien, who just wants to be a mom.

Adapted and directed by Annette Trossbach, and workshopped by this tight-knit ensemble cast and crew, The Birds: A Parody is truly a Lab Theater original.

This laugh-out-loud parody features our heroes battling evil birds with plans to terrorize humans based on the classic Hitchcock film. 

Wealthy San Francisco socialite Melanie Daniels pursues potential suitor Mitch Brenner to a quaint seaside town where all manner of mayhem begins to take over, most notably bizarre behavior from all types of birds, from crows to gulls to delicious, sugar-coated Peeps, which begin to attack the town.

“Norma Desmond is back and ready for her close-up with Mr. DeMille,” says artistic director Annette Trossbach. “The original screenplay has been revamped into an over-the-top parody that will leave you laughing all the way home. In the style of Baby Jane: A Parody of the Horror, and Hush Up Sweet Charlotte, this snarky take on the classic film noir Sunset Boulevard has all the fun and camp that audiences know and love from a June production at The Lab.”

Adapted and directed by Annette Trossbach, and workshopped by this tight-knit ensemble cast and crew, Sunset Schmoulevard is truly a Lab Theater original.
