AMERICAN CANDY: It’s a Man’s World!!!

AMERICAN CANDY: It’s a Man’s World!!!

AMERICAN CANDY'S witty, adult writing, cheeky original musical comedy, clever use of themes, multicultural casting and strong female-led writing staff set them apart from traditional and popular sketch comedy shows.

The show, created by Hollie Harper and produced by Hollie Harper and Patranila Jefferson, always hits the deeply underserved adult/women demographic with great results.

The “It’s a Man’s World” theme comes from the creator Hollie Harper's realization that American men are really in the midst of transition. The old rules don’t apply. New subcultures emerge as fast as you can say “Really?”  

First the theme is established, then all of its sketches are completed before rehearsal even starts. The 3 week rehearsal cycle becomes an intense incubator of creativity. Some of the more established actors have made the transition to writer/director. Marvin Telp and Sam Haft have both made the leap to writer/director status.

Rounding out the writing staff for AMERICAN CANDY: It’s a Man’s World!!! are Stephanie Bok, Wilkie Cornelius Jr., musical director Jeff Jeudy and head writer Hollie Harper. Producer Patranila Jefferson also directs several pieces.
