Acme Theater

A madcap comedic farce set in the Silver Crest Manor, a once-respected nursing home besieged by all manner of chaos. While a violent thunderstorm rages outside, inside a drug dealer is on the loose, an escaped mental patient is hunted by the police, and a trio of scheming scoundrels spin a web of identity theft and deception. As patients mysteriously vanish and impostors emerge, the confusion-and hilarity escalates through mistaken identities, double-dealing, and surprise twists. Hold onto your walkers: Losing Patients blends outrageous physical comedy with unexpected plot turns right up to its surprise finish.
