Rhythm Exorcism

A musical in two acts

The Cast:

Romeo Ax ………Revered Aloysius Lovecraft
Tommy Velour …Reverend Deuteronomy Skaggs
Ginchey SugarPowder…Linda Blair
Rene' Sinclair…Mephistopheles, The Swank Pope

First Act

Linda Blair is possessed by the Anti-Rock devil. She can no longer get her Mojo working and as a consequence popular music becomes dominated by a host of demons spouting rap and pubescent teen pop. Two reverends are pulled from their rock and roll retirement in the suburbs to cast the Anti-Rock from Linda.

The first act opens with the reverends performing incantations to the sprites of swing. By forcing the bedeviled Ms Blair to play drums as they recite the litany of staccato. The first act ends with the Rev. Lovecraft and Rev. Skaggs being possessed themselves with an insane desire to drink beer and spout profanities at the audience.

Second Act

The exorcism is going poorly because the reverends have lost the faith that rock and roll is the one true party music. This has occurred because they had drifted away from the faith, enticed with large SUVs and digital televisions. These were the inducements offered by Mephistophilis years ago when he seduced the reverends into giving up rock and roll for a job with his phone solicitation company.

All is not lost however; in the nick of time the Swank Pope arrives and after the reverends kiss his mood ring the groove returns to them. Turning up their amps to eleven they really start to kick out the jams.

The rising of their sprits frightens the Anti-Rock out of Linda and they all play a rousing set of hard-nosed rock and roll to chase it from the nightclub.

The play ends sadly though because even though the forces of rhythm prevailed at Frederick's tonight the Anti-Rock still rules the radio and record stores.
