"LEGOLAND" is an adventurous play by Jacob Richmond being performed at the Majestic Repertory Theatre. This engaging theatrical production tells the story of siblings Penny and Ezra Lamb, who embark on a cross-continent journey after their hippie parents are arrested when their Canadian commune is discovered to be a massive marijuana farm. The siblings' search for Penny's pop idol—a boy band leader trying to reinvent himself as a gangsta rapper—drives this quirky and entertaining narrative. This is the first installment of the Uranium Scream Teen Trilogy, which precedes the cult musical hit "Ride the Cyclone."
Directed by Troy Heard and featuring performances by Emma Newton and Jeffrey DuBey, "LEGOLAND" blends humor and heart in what critics have called "top-drawer theatre" (Victoria Times-Colonist) and likened to "a variety show version of South Park" (Globe & Mail). The Majestic Repertory Theatre, with its mission of finding voices that will change American Theatre, provides the perfect venue for this innovative production that combines traditional storytelling with contemporary themes.
