In a clip from the upcoming movie Tankhouse, shots are fired in a troubling and violent street battle—except it's theatre people, so the weapon of choice is the patter lyrics to Gilbert and Sullivan's "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General." Watch the exclusive clip, featuring Richard Kind and Stephen Friedrich, above.
Releasing in theatres and on demand May 13, Tankhouse follows two disgraced NYC theatre artists who retreat home to Fargo, North Dakota, where they stage a theatrical revolution over whose theatre company will gain control of a local stage.
Directed by Noam Tomaschoff and written by Tomaschoff and Chelsea Frei, the film features Broadway favorites Kind, Christopher Lloyd, and Devere Rogers (Chicken & Biscuits), along with Tara Holt and Stephen Friedrich.
