Pepe! The Mail Order Monkey Musical opens off (off) Broadway as part of the Capital Fringe Festival. Quotes that appeared in the Washington Post Weekend section include “It’s ‘Les Miz,’ with a monkey.” High praise – indeed!
Pepe is a collaborative piece created by a team of theater professionals, composers, visual artists and film friends. This one-act, Broadway-style musical is based on an infamous true tale told by world-renowned glass artist Tim Tate — in the spring of 1968, two young brothers test suburban conventions when they order a live monkey from an ad they saw in a comic book.
Also – some special guest star appearances in the musical: Performances on July 15 and 18 will feature legendary TV Host Dick Dyszel 
, on July 24, “Top Chef” Favorite Carla Hall 
will perform in the show, and on July 22 & 25, glass sculptor extraordinaire Tim Tate will be part of the cast.
