Corrupt mayoral candidate, Norm Begotch has come up with the ultimate win/win/win scheme to solve the city’s landfill crisis. The plan includes such features as cross-border shopping, tearing down historic sites and the routine spying on the poor, the needy and the elderly. With a cast of colorful characters and several brand new satirical songs, Once Upon a Landfill takes us on a whirlwind adventure of mistaken identities, incredible coincidences and physical buffoonery.

The very nexus of our craft

If you will just consent to laugh!”
