Last Call at the Aardvark
by Paul Stroili
Directed by: K. Edmonds
Actors: Paul Stroili*, Tyler Black, and Rhiannon Ragland*
1935 in New York meant the end of prohibition, which turned all the speakeasies into legitimate nightclubs. If you want to call The Aardvark Club legitimate. Honey has worn nearly every hat you can wear; slinging drinks, cooking books, but mostly, she’s a stripper. People come and go like ghosts, but it’s hard to miss Zack, an aspiring comic who performs at the club. Zack’s got some talent, he might even amount to something. So why did he have to tell that joke? One bad joke, about Frankie’s girl, no less. And club owner Frankie is not known for his sense of humor. Now Frankie’s given Honey yet another job to juggle; she’s got to help Zack build a whole new act for an audience of one. And as they say in comedy; “You either kill, or you just die up there.”
