Elise Judelle and Peggy Brady do all the writing for the troupe's material and make no apologies for its lack of "political correctness." The two have been working together on one theatrical thing or another since the '80's. Throughout the year, the troupe finds itself busy with conventions and contract shows around the U.S. and Canada and can be contracted for events locally with enough lead time.
