It's hit the fan, and it hasn't stopped spinning. When disaster strikes their community, a volunteer team of five dysfunctional civil servants are forced to work together to support their local first responders in the wake of devastation. They do this not because it is easy, but because they thought it would be.
From the company that brought you The Great Gatsby comes an original, fast-paced comedy about what ELSE can go wrong when things have gone wrong. It can't get any worse, right?

Emergency Ops

Illustrium Creations—RRC Polytech

Everything you hope not to see during a municipal emergency response. Local performer Hayden Maines plays all five members of their sleepy towns emergency operations department, challenged far more by the travails of office life than the pig shit and chemicals spilling out from a crash. After introducing the cast, the persona and costume changes increasingly speed up, as he cracks jokes and details the situation’s descent into absurd chaos.

First night hiccups are always to be expected, and Hayden keeps an admirable amount of plates spinning in the air. The pace and humour definitely work well, but the primary gimmick of having all the characters played by the same actor feels a bit superfluous.
