Brewed Ambition is presented as the second act of both Songs for a Haunted Stage (August 13) and Phantom Follies (August 15). Admission is included with tickets to either concert.
Book, Music, and Lyrics by Michael Turnblom and B.K. Wells
Ambition is brewing...and it's about to boil over!
A struggling corporate coffee shop becomes the stage for a darkly comic rise to power. When overlooked busboy Deuce is unexpectedly promoted, a long-awaited taste of authority quickly turns intoxicating. As confidence gives way to ego, manipulation, and mounting pressure, workplace drama spirals into something far more dangerous.
How far would you go to get ahead, and what happens when ambition goes too far?
