Acrobatman. Albatross, H20 Girl, Astarte, Tapeman, Miss Invisowrap, Electroman, Gadzooks. And that's only part of the cast of this comedy farce. They are members of the Elite Idealistic Earth Individuals Organization, commonly called the E.I.E.I.O. Their annual conference at a health spa called O. MacDonald's Farm (what else?) is attacked by invaders from the evil planet Inferna. Star Raider, the intergalactic villain, has discovered the secret of the E.I.E.I.O.'s strength: they all seem to be some insignificant Earth Person, then they change their clothes and become superheroes. So he has prepared a serum that will rob them of the ability to change clothes! Can the E.I.E.I.O. and the entire Earth be saved from enslavement by nonmembers Superbrain and Wizard Woman? Learn the answer in this takeoff on all the superheroes you've ever heard of.

- "A blast! The Super Heroes all turned into comedians with the one-liners. It brought out the "actor" in everyone."
- Review by Janice Simon, St. Patrick School, Portland, Mich.
- "May the Farce Be With You was one of our most well received shows! The audience loved it and came back to see it again. It was an easily staged play. The students (cast) had fun creating costumes based on the script notes and their own imaginations. The cast went all out on costumes and characters. I enjoyed bringing the written work to life and loved every minute of producing this play. It is an awesome production for high schools!!"
