From the creators of Dysentery! The Musical comes a fresh original musical comedy where scout cookies crash into courtroom antics and a fundraising plan goes off the rails. Lacy swore to honor her troop and her country, yet she now faces a trial after pushing cookie sales too far. What begins as a small case of unpaid cookie debt balloons into a full-blown legal circus filled with rival scouts, shaky legal tactics, hard-sell seminars, and songs delivered from the stand. At the center is a thorny question: who carries the blame when merit badges, bonuses, and snack-fueled capitalism take the spotlight? Bursting with outsized characters, clever-silly humor, and gloriously over-the-top musical numbers, the show puts badges, justice, sisterhood, and the high-pressure world of youth fundraising under scrutiny. It suits fans of courtroom comedies, musical sendups, cookie-season antics, legal shenanigans, and anyone who has ever felt nudged into buying a box outside a grocery store.
