2016 WINNER PANOWSKI PLAYWRITING AWARD Max and Paul are just trying to keep their architecture company afloat, but they accidentally hired the mob to build a police retirement home. They may never get the project done in this screwball comedy, but they are most definitely building madness. Building Madness is a brand new 1930s screwball comedy penned by USA TODAY bestselling author and Maryland Distinguished Scholar in the Arts Kate Danley. "If you love those great old screwball comedies from Hollywood's Golden Era of the 1930s, you will love Building Madness...Featuring a picture perfect cast performing in the sophisticated style and rapid-fire word play of those classic films and seeing it all done live is a treat. The plot is straight-forward fun, and what author Danley does with it is rich...Everyone gets their share of clever lines and physical comedy. The ensemble plays together like the pros they are." -John K.
