The Green Goblin. Magneto. Dr. Doom. Names that strike fear into
the hearts of superheroes and regular joes alike. Heat Conduction
Man. Slab. The BaffleMaster. Names with…slightly less impact
than the others. VILLAINS is the story of these (somewhat) super-poweredcriminals.
In a world where the big guns of super-villainy target New York
City, Metropolis and Gotham for their dastardly deeds, what kind
of villains would come out of a non-descript little burg like
Area City? The NEXT BIG THINGS, that’s who. You may not
have heard of the likes of Baron Mind, The Fate, or Polio Man
yet, but you will. And not just on the stupid people news either.
They’re getting their act together, learning how to use
their awesome, mind-blowing powers together as a team, and when
they do…hold on to your butts, America. These VILLAINS are
gonna take over!
From Steven Attanasie & Andy
Grigg, thecomedic minds behind
‘MANOS: Rock Opera of Fate’ and ‘CUBICLE! An
Office Space Musical’ comes VILLAINS, a peek into the lives
of the worst Super- Villains you’ve never heard of. When
they try to work together as a team and pull off the heist that
wil
l make their names household words, hilarity ensues and you
won’t believe how it all ends up! “With marquee names
like Iron Man, The Hulk and Batman all over the multiplexes this
summer, the time is right to bring VILLAINS to the people,”
says Chad Wise, 
NMTC head honcho and director of VILLAINS. “If
you’ve had enough of the douchebag superhero saving the
day, getting the girl and maybe learning something, you’re
gonna love this show.” Written and directed by comic book
fans, VILLAINS has enough inside jokes to please the hardcore
and enough heart that you can bring your significant other and
you won’t get in trouble for it.
