Written and performed by Debra Buonaccorsi and Steve McWilliams ("equal parts devotion, subversion and wit"—Washington Post), a satirical folk-rock-variety-show based on the fantastical, gruesome, salacious, inspiring stories of Catholic saints, ranging from the famous—St. Francis of Assisi—to the obscure—St. Ursula and the 11,000 Virgins. Blends vaudeville and a wide range of musical styles, and hearkens back to story wagons and medicine shows.The Saints reimagines Catholic lore to explore the intersection of entertainment and faith. 

DMLRR’s The Saints was first performed to rave reviews and sold-out houses in Washington DC’s Capital Fringe Festival with a cast of 9 actor-musicians. This intimate, stripped down, 2-person adaptation, performed by the writers and creators of DMLRR, takes audiences on a kaleidoscopic journey that is simultaneously absurd and affecting.

Conceived by Debra Buonaccorsi and Steve McWilliams, Dizzy Miss Lizzie’s Roadside Revue is an interdisciplinary theatre company; “rock concert as literary satire.” DMLRR produces original works, adapting mythology and literary works into raucous, engaging, utterly modern tales, performing in DC at Capital Fringe, Kennedy Center Millennium Stage, Keegan Theatre, in NYC at the New York Musical Festival, and the 2026 Rochester Fringe, Cincinnati Fringe and Pittsburgh Fringe. The 2012 recipient of Helen Hayes-John Aniello Award for Outstanding Emerging Theatre Company.

“Dizzy Miss Lizzie are alchemical fringe rock-n-roll magic geniuses, and there’s no reason to miss them.” Washington City Paper
