Tartan It Up
Thunderbird Theatre Company specializes in ridiculous comedies, whether it’s a Citizen Kane prequel with a demonically possessed sled, a coming-of-age story about Conan the Barbarian’s daughter, a beach party take on Harry Potter, a Fawlty Towers spoof populated by Greek gods, or a Jane Austen undead scuffle way before those were cool. Thunderbird’s latest, The Scotland Company, is certainly as silly as usual, but what makes it unique among the company’s offerings is that it was written by a 16-year-old, Jake Rosenberg.
