It’s 1775 and it’s no tea party in Boston! After spoiled little brat Anne Heritance demands that her pushover father Governor Bucky Hampalace raise taxes yet again, the colonists are yankee doodle done with British rule. With the help of the governor’s new gold-digging wife Mae Flower and hunky fur-trapper Seymour Beavers, the colonists plot to kidnap the little brat and send her back to England for a permanent tea-time-out. However, when the colonists run into delusional sailor Ahab Bitualliar, who has followed a mysterious giant fish into Boston Hahbah, they discover they may have a bigger fish to fry. Will sea monster Codzilla exact revenge on the colonists for murdering his kin or will he become their catch of the day? Will fiery seamstress Betsy Gloss find a way to trim taxes down to size or will recovering alcoholic Benjamin Dranklin drown in booze and tears? Don’t tread on these colonists as they pursue life, liberty, and happiness in HPT 168: That 1770s Show!
This year’s writers are Daniel S. Milaschewski ’17, Jacob D. Rienstra ’17, and A.J. Unitas ’16.
The music is composed by Dylan MarcAurele ’16.
