Alex Cross and his Rise to Fame
Medulla Oblongata Productions
Alex Cross and His Rise to Fame; the Rock N' Roll comedy satire that developed a cult following at the 2013 St-Ambroise Montreal Fringe Festival, is back and ready to rock the MainLine Theatre stage once again!
Would you make a Faustian bargain to become a famous rock star?
Alex Cross is a philistine loser who has always dreamed of being a famous rock star but never had the talent or charisma to get him there - that is, until he meets Mr. Beelzebub, CEO of Beelzebub Talents, who lures Alex with women and drugs into naively making a Faustian bargain involving a contract signed in blood. At the height of his fame, a deranged fan turned conspiracy theorist exposes Alex and the satanic agenda behind the music industry that he is obliviously soliciting. When Alex discovers the truth, he seeks refuge but quickly finds out that it is not only his contract that binds him...
