Synopsis:
Join us for a sci-fi buddy comedy like no other! Microscopic Men follows Kevin and James—two unsuspecting guys who are accidentally shrunk to microscopic size and must battle their way through a bizarre subatomic world filled with militant ants, mysterious echoes, malfunctioning radios, and emotionally unstable howler monkeys.
This fast-paced, razor-sharp play packs a ton of characters, chaos, and comedy into one wildly imaginative night of theater. Think Honey, I Shrunk the Kids meets Dr. Strangelove—all performed by a powerhouse ensemble switching roles at breakneck speed.
