Edmonds Driftwood Players

Join us for a staged reading of One Night at the Ranch written by Kirsten McCory and Lori Stein and directed by Kirsten McCory. Part of the FIRST DRAFT staged reading series presented by the Edmonds Driftwood Players and Driftwood After Dark.

Synopsis: One night at the Ranch (The Fantasy Ranch that is, a brothel in Wadsworth, Nevada), Sahara and Madam DeeDee sing a karaoke version of “YMCA” and then argue over a letter. While Jaznelle keeps the client busy, Mercy and Niclette share a bottle of Crown Royal while comparing and contrasting and complaining about the clientele coming out of L.A. these days. To complicate matters, the mysterious Kelstro Corporation has become business partners with the Ranch’s enigmatic, egg-hating owner Del Delmonico. Will the new rules and regulations bind the women together or encourage them to tear each other apart?

Expected Run Time: 60 minutes, with no intermission. Playwright Feedback session is after the reading and it is optional to stay and participate.

Content Warning(s): Adult language, discussions of domestic abuse, gun violence, prostitution and physical violence.
