WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) is a one act Steve Martin play that looks at an idealized family of 1950s America.  It plays on the familiar images of tv shows like Leave it to Beaver and Father Knows Best.  But the underneath the perfect family veneer is a dysfunctional household.  The play is a good balances of satirical humor, pathos, and schitck.
