Synopsis

An acerbic mockumentary that combines the reality of the millennial experience with bizarre surrealistic satire, The Mechanicals tells the story of a group of twenty-something actors who spend their days bringing classical theatre to elementary schools and high schools. From one of the actors being mistaken for a pedophile to getting caught up in a school shooting, these young thespians just can't catch a break. The pilot episode features the troupe at the beginning of the rehearsal process, preparing their kid-friendly production of Oedipus Rex...
