A New Year - a New Season - a New Mission
In past seasons, we have held a reputation for farce and slapstick entertainment, but as we witness our current political climate, we are taking on our 2025 season with renewed vision, producing shows that use humor to amplify the voices of our neighbors and direct a mirror toward the issues facing our city. Our first offering will be Don Nigro’s Martian Gothic at the IF Black Box in April. Stay tuned for more.
We are Clerical Error Productions, and we are Funny on Purpose – for a purpose.

About the play…This controversial play traces the emotional conflicts of Sonia Pretorius, beautiful, brilliant and articulate spokesperson for the nuclear power industry, and her conflicts with her scientist father, her green sister, her frazzled and lovesick boss, and her father’s cynical girlfriend. As Sonia’s world begins to collapse around her, the tension in her grows and moves her closer and closer to a meltdown.

Clerical Error Productions was proud to participate in Theatre Unchained’s third annual fundraiser, Talent Unchained on September 28, with a staged reading of Permit to Carry, a 10-minute play written in 2022 to protest the repeal of Roe v Wade. The cast featured Blake Mellencamp, David Molloy, and Brad Staggs in a sardonic farce with a twist at the end.
Proudly doing our bit for women's rights
Our 6th IndyFringe Festival featured retro campy fun!
This IS your grandfather's Batman!
It’s a dreary day in the Gotham City Home for the Evil Elderly. Mourning the death of their comrade in harm the Joker, the arthritic arch villains cook up one last crooked caper to get revenge on their nemesis Batman, who is happily retired at Gotham Golden Acres. Curses! Soiled Again! brought sight gags, hark backs, and a choreographed fight scene to lovers of classic comics and TV. POW!
Thanks to everyone who came to the IndyFringe Basile Theatre, danced with us, laughed with us, and cheered us on. You’re bat-tastic!
