A prison warden decides the answer to rehabilitation is spring break, and we immediately regret letting him cook. Recorded live at Bughouse Theater in Chicago in the style of a classic Golden Age radio broadcast, we spin an improvised audio theater comedy where a “camper prison bus van” heads toward the Grand Canyon, two soul cellmates plot their dumbest escape yet, and the prison laundry room becomes the birthplace of something genuinely sinister.

Along the way, we meet Cindy Winterson, the warden’s daughter, who insists she’s done all her homework and now wants to ride along with the inmates. Her awkward, overheated bus conversation with a jaywalking “bad boy” turns romance into danger, and the trip detonates into a crash that leaves the whole group relying on an unlikely rescuer: a Grand Canyon tour guide and a heroic donkey named Misty. If you love live improv comedy, foley sound effects, and narrative twists that only happen when performers are making it up together, this one keeps escalating.

Back at the prison, the real plot surfaces: Lollipop’s cauldron lair, mind control, and a surprisingly sad origin story that reframes the chaos as a crooked search for connection. We end up with satire about “easy fixes” for broken systems, plus a weirdly sweet reminder that love can show up in the middle of a disaster.
