Me: Machines x7 is a comedy about three paranoid packrats who use the 'treasures' they have collected to destroy their enemy; although their enemy is unseen. This is so entertaining because it is a view at three grown up fellows playing a childrens's game. The unconventional theme behind this production is that the set drives the story along. The set is sort of an art exibit. Quinn Bauriedel, Geoff Sobelle and Trey Lyford build imaginary weapons and traps on stage to defend their fort from the evil enemies who are never actually seen. This is an original play performed by the artists who wrote it.
