STREEPSHOW! Episode Three Jay Stull

About This Show
Nine Meryl Streep characters are chosen to live in a reality TV house and compete for the opportunity to rewrite the narrative of their lives. The characters have no knowledge of the actress Meryl Streep; they think of themselves as real people who have uncannily tragic biographies. The game is played like typical reality TV episodes. During contests, certain contestants can gain immunity, and, at the end of each episode the house votes to kick someone off. Theater as homage in drag with music.
