NEW YORK—One had a “wide stance” and another was “hiking the Appalachian Trail.”
Those were some of the excuses put forward by politicians caught in recent sex scandals. Mario Correa, a political junkie who worked on Capitol Hill in high school and college, has turned them into comedy gold.
Correa, a co-host of Entertainment Weekly’s daily “News & Notes” program on SiriusXM, stitched together four such sad tales to create “Tail! Spin!” at the Culture Project starring “Saturday Night Live” alumna Rachel Dratch. It closes Jan. 4.
The script uses only the public comments, tweets, statements, instant messages, emails, and text messages from the disgraced politicians.
