THE WEIRD AND WONDERFUL WORLD OF INDUSTRIAL MUSICALS

*Diesel Dazzle*...*Got to Investigate Silicones*...*The Bathrooms Are Coming*...? Welcome to the bonkers alternate universe of industrial musical theater, presented by *Late Night with David Letterman* and *The Simpsons* writer Steve Young.

Steve first discovered corporate musicals while gathering obscure albums for the *Letterman* show’s "Dave's Record Collection" comedy bit. Years later, Steve is the world's authority on the bizarrely entertaining shows created for company conventions and sales meetings from the 50’s to the 80’s that the public was never meant to see or hear. Steve, the star of Dava Whisenant’s award-winning documentary *Bathtubs Over Broadway*, loves to bring the jaw-dropping delights of industrial musicals to audiences around the country, featuring ultra-rare films from his collection that can’t be seen anywhere else. Thrill to toe-tapping in-house musical propaganda from General Electric, Kellogg’s, American-Standard, Citgo, Purina, and more, with Steve’s hilarious commentary (and even a bit of live music). It’s a secret world of Americana that will astonish, amuse, perplex — and make you want to get out there and sell something!
