THE WONDER BREAD YEARS
Saturday, October 24, 2009 8pm
Finally, a show for the late-generation baby boomer in all of us! The Wonder Bread Years, written by and starring Seinfeld writer Pat Hazell, invites you to take a rollicking field trip to your childhood at The Grand 1894 Opera House on Saturday, October 24 at 8 pm. The Wonder Bread Years is a fast-paced, hilarious production that gracefully walks the line between stand-up and theater. “Laugh-out-loud material that is pitch-perfect,” says Impact Weekly.

Life was all about Kool-Aid, sugar pops, jiffy pop, twinkies, slinkies, twister ,and getting in to trouble! The Wonder Bread Years features a set that will evoke the typical front porch and yard of an American kid in the 1960s and 70s. With the fast pace of stand-up comedy, plus audience interaction, the show looks back on the food, toys, holiday customs, commercials, and TV shows of an amazing era. Manwich, Spam, the kid’s table, Rock’em Sock’em Robots, milk money, Dilly Bars, road trips in the way-back seat of the family station wagon—these are just a few of the slices of Americana that will be served up in The Wonder Bread Years.
Written and performed by Pat Hazell, who Showtime called, “one of the funniest people in America,” is one of the original writers for television’s Seinfeld, and a veteran of The Tonight Show. Hazell is a critically acclaimed playwright and also a contributing commentator to National Public Radio. He is recognized for his genuinely funny Americana humor and his salute to pop culture.
You won't want to miss out on this slice of Americana Jerry Seinfeld calls “milk-snorting funny”!
