Foes of a Minimum Wage Guard

Scriptropolis: A PLAYWRIGHT'S JOURNEY

A funny one man play for adults about a senior citizen's crusade  against organized retail crime! It is the world's first solo play to tackle the issues of retail crime and loss prevention!

​

This 75 minute show is about Steve Smelly, an elderly security guard who is reassigned against his will to a loss prevention detective due to a departmental shortage. If he fails to stop shrink, he faces termination by a hard nosed district manager.

​

This story of self discovery is a tribute to the old forgotten department stores of the past and the malls that closed across the country in recent years.

​

In this show where Ken portrays 12 different humorous characters, the main character's age and health struggles resonate strongly with older adults, making the story relatable and impactful. The obstacles face by protagonist Steve Smelly speaks to the life experiences of seniors.

​

This award winning solo show was selected for 2025 Off-Broadway's United Solo Theatre Festival in New York City, the largest solo theatre festival in the world!
