Adjusting to married life can sometimes be a trying time for a young bride.
For newlywed Ashley Wagner, however, marriage turns out to be an out of this world experience!
For starters, the antique cuckoo clock, a family heirloom, that Ashley’s Bavarian busybody of an Aunt-in-law gave Ashley’s husband, Greg, as a wedding gift has, well…an unusual defect.
The time piece has a wormhole which, when Greg turns back the clock to Standard time, opens a time warp that catapults Ashley back in time only to find herself pregnant and married to Greg’s father, Klaus!
Ach du lieber!
Is Ashley then…Greg’s mother?
Expecting a baby and stuck in a time warp with a broken cuckoo clock and a different husband, Ashley comes to realize that her life is…well…A Crock of Schnitzel!
A Crock of Schnitzel is a comedy for everyone who, at one time or another, has overindulged in a cornucopia of culinary decadence resulting in both night terrors and a whopper of a belly ache.
Forget your antacids!
Feast on fun!
Enjoy every morsel of A Crock of Schnitzel!
A German lesson in every bite!
"Very few people have the creativity, imagination and determination to write a play, especially with the subject matter being something as intangible as daylight savings time and the twice a year changing of the hands on clocks everwhere. One such person is Barbara Weber."
— Montgomery Newspapers
"Barbara Pease Weber has cooked up another decadent new comedy."
— Delco Times
"It's like Back to the Future with a side of Jerry Springer. Heavy!"
