About The Pardoned: A Punk-Rock Evolution:
Timely, reflecting current headlines of J.D. Vance’s former friends from back in the day being mystified of where he went wrong — with him now sacrificing his cool for the superior commodity of power.
This comedy explores the explosive effect on a group of old friends from the ‘90s underground Chicago music scene, when the former center of their world, Brad, sells out to be a MAGA operative. His close artist friend Madge, the main character, struggles to make sense of this puzzling evolution, stay loyal to Brad, and preserve his lucrative advertising connections, such as using her old Riot Grrrl street cred to sell hormone pills to aging Gen X Women via Madison Avenue.
Nothing has more rules than punk rock, and Brad is breaking every one of them.
