'Al Pals' by Allison Fradkin by Soundscape Theater @soundscapetheater published on 2022-09-30T00:33:45Z Soundscape Theater presents: ‘Al Pals’ by Allison Fradkin Directed by India Stachyra | Sound Designed & Edited by India Stachyra Part of Laughscapes: An Audio Comedy Festival, 2022 Gal pals Jeanette and Phyllis are anxiously awaiting the results of MTV’s “Video Thrilled the Parody Star” contest, hosted by the hunky-doriest heartthrob of the 1980s: Weird Al Yankovic. Will their entry—which portrays parity with a motley crew of clarity, sincerity, and hilarity— push more buttons than an accordionist? Or worse, will their friendship be eighty-sixed in ’86 in an Al-legory on the bummers of the big time?
