An Evening Wasted with the Songs of Tom Lehrer is produced by Economic Stimulus Productions; the new name of Quirky White Chicks Productions, now in its fifth season of producing interesting plays with unique voices and perspectives.
An Evening Wasted with the Songs of Tom Lehrer marks the first production under the name change. Independent Theatre can be a financial burden to produce, but thanks to The Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 signed into law by President George W. Bush, Producers Julie Rowe and T. Scott Wooten decided against buying plasma-screen-HD-television-sets and instead pooled their tax rebate checks together to produce live theatre. Economic Stimulus Productions is proud to be producing performance art fully funded by the United States Government.
