In Crocodile's Lair

Written and Directed by JC Augustin
Produced by Tortas Y Tacones

Human enterprise threatens natural order in this dark comedy written and directed by JC Augustin.

Gramps, an ancient crocodile, rules New York City from his palatial den in abandoned aqueduct tunnels beneath Manhattan. He targets world-famous rapper and business mogul 50 Cent, whose new health drink promises to alter mankind with a genetic boost. In his quest to maintain natural order, Gramps encounters NYC rat revolutionaries, a singing skunk, and reunites with an urban coyote who is clinging to the last vestiges of his wildness. Gramps relentlessly maintains his rule. To what lengths will mankind go to lose its fear, and become primal?

Tortas Y Tacones returns to Theater for the New City with this wild comedy with a cyber-genetic twist. In Crocodile’s Lair follows Augustin’s mind-bending comedy, Whiskey River, which was named Best Play at Frenzy Theater Festival in 2022. Cast members of Whiskey River, T. Scott Lilly and Jay W. Walker (Best Actor, Frenzy Festival 2022) return in wildly different roles. They are joined by Jose Ruiz, Zoë Gray, Alec Pacheco and Cal Behr in this high-stakes comedy about survival.
