CGiii Comment
Terrible is a word that applies to this lame attempt at comedy.
There may have been moments which should have been funny...but, they weren't.
There may have been songs that were toe-tappingly good...but, they weren't.
An embarrassment for the presumed talents that appear - simply...talentlessness.
The writers, the actors...everyone should be ashamed.
A flop of the most unpalatable kind.

The(ir) Blurb...
Dana Marschz is a failed actor and recovering alcoholic who's moved to Tucson to teach high school drama, where he's plagued by bad reviews, student indifference, budget woes (he and his wife, who is trying to get pregnant, take in a boarder), and his own teaching limitations. Because the other electives are closed, he finds himself with a large class of seeming gang-bangers, and the principal informs him that drama will be cut next trimester. On the advice of a student reviewer, Dana decides to stage his own play, a sequel to "Hamlet" in which the prince and Jesus, with the use of a time machine, try to save Gertrude and Ophelia. Can Dana for once pull something off?
