SOUTH PARIS — Celebration Barn Theater presents the quirky comedy “The Fabulous Problemas” Saturday night. The plot centers on three squirt-gun-slinging desperadoes who will stop at nothing in pursuit of ill-gotten gain. They’ll swindle, seduce and even sing and dance their way into the greatest heist of all time.

Starring Amanda Huotari, Daniel Orrantia and Aaron Tucker, “The Fabulous Problemas” was devised in Bogota, Colombia, and premiered at Celebration Barn in 2011 under the direction of Davis Robinson. Since then, the show has toured to New York, Florida and Indiana, and won critical acclaim.
