A laugh out loud skewering of Hollywood and corporate America.
HAMTRAMCK, MICH – Enter a world of absurdist comedy. Presented by The Planet Ant Farm Team, Harold’s Big Break takes aim at Hollywood and corporations all while bringing big laughs to its audience.
Brewligan's Coffee has a PR crisis on its hands. They look to create a groundbreaking commercial to distract the public from their evil scandal. Enter Harold, a no name actor looking for his big break. As the commercial shoot progresses, hell on earth unfolds.
Harold’s Big Break contains over the top ridiculousness guaranteed to make the audience crack up. It could be seen as a fun comedy but after closer inspection, the show explores themes of fame, greed, and bravery. We invite you to take a break from the madness of the world and enter a space guaranteed to bring comedy and entertainment.
