What do you do when you’ve followed your dream but the dream is no longer enough? “The Persistent Stain” is a second-wave Canadian punk band that’s been slogging it out on the small touring circuit for decades. Now they find themselves in their 50s still pursuing the dreams of their 20s. As they struggle through yet another gig in yet another nowhere town, Joey Blank and Maxie Staines ask themselves: Should they stay, or should they go?

Maxie and Joey are the only ones left alive from the original band; they travel with the ghosts of their former bandmates. “Aristotle’s Dick” was their only hit song, and now a younger, hipper band wants to do a cover of it for a major motion picture. The pair have to decide if giving up the song also means giving up the dream. A comedy which also hits hard, asks tough questions, and touches on soft spots—the show includes 5 original songs played live.
