| | Sordid Lives
By Del Shores
January 24 - February 9
A true cult classic, "Sordid Lives" is a hilarious "black comedy about white trash" that was nominated for more than 30 awards during its long run in Los Angeles. "Sordid Lives" puts a comedic twist on a story of unconditional love, acceptance and coming out in a colorful small-town Texas family. The entire clan has converged for the funeral of Peggy, the family's matriarch and a good Christian woman ... in spite of the fact that she died during a tryst in a seedy motel room with her much younger, much married neighbor. Watch the family struggle to avoid a mortifying funeral. | Purchase tickets |
| | Fertile Ground Staged Reading - To End All Wars
by David Ritchie and directed by Bob Martin
Two performances only: Feb 5 at 3pm and 8pm
What if you could end all war, but the solution was embarrassing? Two veterans of the First World War and a female psychiatrist meet in a pub in London. Her father was their medical officer during the war and he has told her they have a secret. How will they respond when she suggests they hold the key to ending war? Surely they've heard that phrase somewhere before? In the second act we meet, in a railway waiting room to the
North of London, older and wiser versions of the same three characters. She has qualified as a surgeon and served in China. One of the two men has married into money. The third character had a building collapse on him when a V2 bomb landed. There's much to work out in a conversation: romance, banking, camping, the question of where the staff hid the tea before they went home. It's a comedy with adult and serious questions at its core. Writer David Ritchie and director Bob Martin have previously collaborated on six plays. | Purchase tickets |
| | Feb 14 and 15 at 8pm
What if we talked to each other in real life the way people talk on dating apps like Tinder? Plug into a world where people introduce themselves OKCupid style and Bumble their way in and out of love.
Due to the adult nature of this play, ages 17+ recommended.
Swipe Right will be followed by a cabaret of comedic love songs.
