“…the company’s comic fury is so strong, and its skills so sharp…” –L.A. Weekly (GO)

Hundreds of untrained writers from around the world send their unsolicited, unregistered scripts to Hollywood production companies in the hopes that their story will rise above the rest to be made into a feature film. Most never even get read… until now. Magnum Opus Theatre presents an unbelievably awful screenplay, compressed but otherwise unaltered… word for word… we didn’t change a thing.

" Hey dudes…did you know that Jesus’s blessing are baked fresh each day?"

An all new masterwork, Surf Dogs Unite! looks into the iniquitous lives of a group of young Southern California Christian surfers as they square off against a pack of Hell-bent bikers in a tale of revenge, redemption, and tasty waves.

Director Jonas Oppenheim (Hamlet Shut Up, Earth Sucks) ensures that every misspelling, misplaced comma and errant question mark is faithfully translated to the stage by our troupe, The Magnum Opus Players.

Founded in 1997, the Sacred Fools Theatre Company is a 501-c3 non-profit organization.
