Stroff Park
...is a casual spoof of South Park intended for, but not limited to, a literary audience. It stars Dr. Chris Stroffolino, jaded poetry professor and former member of the Silver Jews. Any resemblance of its supporting cast to other people in the M.F.A. program at Saint Mary's College is completely intentional.
