It’s Memorial Day weekend in the US-of-A and the sales team at Terry’s Cars & Automobiles is getting ready to honor the fallen by slashing prices on some gently-used, (mostly) American-made cars! 

But, things are looking bleak. If they don’t meet their monthly target by selling 66 cars over the holiday weekend (16.5 cars a day!), they’ll end up in the red… again.

Like if David Lynch created The Office, Terry’s: An American Tragedy About Cars, Customers, and Selling Cars to Customers is an absurd, cabaret-style tragicomedy about desperation, desire, and… selling cars. Initially inspired by the This American Life podcast episode “129 Cars”, this brand new piece of theatre is all-singing, all-dancing, and loaded with balloons.

Join Terry’s motley, motor-mouthed crew as they try every trick in the book to get cars off the lot, keep the dealership in the black, and hang on to their sanity. There’s no guarantee they’ll make the target, but you’re bound to have the ride of your life…
