Bathtub Jen and the Henchmen is a steampunk collaboration of prohibitionistic proportions! Sneak into a world of slapstick, stand-up, and vaudeville with Jersey's finest speakeasy entrepreneur and her curmudgeonly ex-con husband as they embark on poorly judged money-making schemes, erotic escapades gone awry, run-ins with a keystone cop, and vignettes that include accordion, ukulele, clarinet, spoons, and trumpet.

Performed by Jennifer Harder, Glen Heroy*, and Charley Layton. *Appearing courtesy of Actors' Equity Association. Bathtub Jen and the Henchmen is an Equity approved showcase.
