Doctuh Mistuh’s ‘Toxic Avenger’ is a charming, if crude, laugh-a-minute riot
Elevated by a winning cast, Doctuh Mistuh's Toxic Avenger is surprisingly charming, constantly hilarious, and shockingly well-designed.

Director Ben Wolfe and his talented cast and crew have created the perfect work for this moment, a celebration of the outsiders, the weirdos, those thought too sensitive, too loud, who take up too much space, who try to walk a path all their own. It's the perfect piece to celebrate this Pride Month, raising up queer voices and showing how our softness can also be our strength.
