Alright, boys! Go long! The stage is set and Professor Henry Hidgens (Jeff Blim) has been waiting in the wings. When the Starlight Theater agrees to produce Henry's new musical as part of their local writers' workshop, they get a show stopping number that's more than they bargained for. Now the people of Hatchetfield are up to their ass in shit, and five-o-clock can't come soon enough!

Based on the musical-within-the-musical from 'The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals,' 'Workin' Boys' is a 28 minute short film made as a Kickstarter perk for the 2019 StarKid 10niversary crowdfunding campaign.

Now everyone can enjoy 'Workin' Boys' whenever they like. So it's time to open the curtain and KILL the reviews!

'Workin' Boys' features a script by Nick & Matt Lang, songs by @jeffblim , a score by Matt Dahan, choreography by Lauren Lopez, and special make-up FX by Gabriela Vega. It stars...

Hidgens - @jeffblim
Hailey (who plays Marge & Secretary #2), and Grace Chasity - Angela Giarratana
Meg (who also plays Mrs. Cloverleaf) - Kim Whalen
Eve (who also plays Secretary #1) - Bryce Charles

Watch Workin' Boys NOW: youtube.com/watch?v=SXwOGdHDimw

Coming this October... WORKIN BOYS!!! (A New Hatchetfield Short Film)

Team StarKid 2023-10-06 | Get your ticket to The Hatchetfield Halloween Party (which includes a special screening of 'Workin' Boys') here! starkid.vhx.tv/products/the-hatchetfield-halloween-party-digital-ticket

Get the 'Workin' Boys' Cast Album here! music.apple.com/us/album/workin-boys-original-starkid-cast-recording-ep/1711907872

It’s been years in the making, but ‘Workin’ Boys’ is finally on its way! The 30-minute short film (originally promised as a SK 10niversary Kickstarter perk back in 2019) is now available for rent as part of 'The Hatchetfield Halloween Party: A Spooky Livestream Celebration.’ This pay-to-view digital event features cast & crew members from every Hatchetfield show, and include a ‘Nerdy Prudes’ Talkback, a Hatchetfield Trivia Game, the ‘Workin’ Boys’ screening & a talkback, plus a discussion of/sneak-peek at the possible future of the Hatchetfield series! The party streamed live on October 13th, but digital tickets to the recording will be available to rent until Halloween here: starkid.vhx.tv/products/the-hatchetfield-halloween-party-digital-ticket

Then, ‘Workin’ Boys’ will be FREE to view for all SK 10niversary Kickstarter Backers starting Monday, October 30th (just in time for Halloween). On that day, 10niversary Backers will be sent a link to the short so they can watch it as many times as they like, whenever they like.

To be clear, SK 10niversary Kickstarter Backers will NOT need to buy a ticket to the Hatchetfield Halloween Party to receive the FREE link to see ‘Workin’ Boys’ on October 30th. BUT being a SK 10niversary Kickstarter Backer doesn’t automatically get you a ticket to the Hatchetfield Halloween Party (which includes a three-hour block of activities, not just 'Workin' Boys'). If you’d like to tune into that event, you’ll be able to purchase a ticket here: starkid.vhx.tv/products/the-hatchetfield-halloween-party-digital-ticket

Based on the musical-within-the-musical from 'The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals,' 'Workin' Boys' tells the story of Professor Henry Hidgens (played by Jeff Blim) who sets out to produce his dream musical at the Starlight Theater, and things don’t go according to plan. Now one man’s dream will become one town’s nightmare. Hatchetfield is up to its ass in shit, and five-o-clock can’t come soon enough!

Filled with show stopping numbers and a cast of familiar faces, ‘Workin’ Boys’ is a horror-comedy short boasting 5 new songs by Jeff Blim, a script by Nick & Matt Lang, a score by Matt Dahan, choreography by Lauren Lopez, and special make-up FX by Gabriela Vega. It stars Jeff Blim, Mariah Rose Faith Casillas, Bryce Charles, Matt Dahan, Corey Dorris, Paul Gabriel, Angela Giarratana, Lauren Lopez, Jon Matteson, Curt Mega, Joey Richter, Dylan Saunders, Virginia Vass, Kim Whalen, and Mary Kate Wiles. It was edited by Matt Lang, and directed by Nick Lang.

AND you can get the Cast Album for 'Workin' Boys' on iTunes here: music.apple.com/us/album/workin-boys-original-starkid-cast-recording-ep/1711907872

WARNING: 'Workin' Boys' is a horror-comedy short film that features violence, blood, murder, gunshots, adult language, and frightening imagery. Viewer discretion is advised.

“YELLOW JACKET”

When Hannah Foster has an accident in shop class, she racks up a massive medical bill that her sister/primary care-giver, Lex, has no way to pay. But Hannah’s not like other fifteen-year-olds. She has a gift. A power. An immense psychic ability she can’t control or understand. Desperate for cash, Hannah decides to use her “gift” in a deadly competition that’ll pit her against other psychic kids for a chance to win big. But there are nefarious forces behind these “games.” Does Hannah have the sting it takes to survive? Can she become… the Yellow Jacket?

Part 1 - “Daddy”

Frank Pricely is a down-on-his luck toy store owner. As his business is slowly crushed by giant, online retailers, Frank struggles to make ends meet. His only loyal customer is a spoiled-rotten man-child named Sherman Young. When Frank hits it off with Sherman’s rich, widowed mother (Sheila), he sees a golden opportunity to save Toy Zone… by marrying Sheila and becoming Sherman’s daddy! But Frank soon discovers there’s more to the Youngs than meets the eye, and that being the daddy isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Part 2 - “Killer Track”

It’s been spread online, at parties, in the backs of beat-up, old vans… the song… The Killer Track. Hear it, and seven days later you die. But it’s just an urban legend, right? Rose is about to find out. When she’s played the song by an alluring stranger, she can’t escape the haunting tune. With time running out, Rose seeks help from a kindly social worker named Duke and a mysterious woman with strange powers, Miss Holloway. Her craft put to the ultimate test, can Miss Holloway save Rose (and all of Hatchetfield) from the Killer Track?
