Lawfully Wedded is a timely collage of scenes and stories that reveal the American struggle for marriage equality.  The show is written by three San Francisco playwrights: Morgan Ludlow, Kirk Shimano & Alina Trowbridge.  When Bill and Jason decide to get married, they confront all the familiar challenges any newlywed couple must face as they plan a wedding, meet their in-laws, buy a house, mix with the neighbors, have a child and deal with the calamity of a major illness.  Lawfully Wedded is at times dramatic, touching, hilarious and will hopefully give you something to talk about as the Supreme Court makes a ruling on two important cases.
The play will be directed by Wesley Cayabyab with an outstanding ensemble cast of Philip Goleman, Jason Jeremy, Kat Kneisel, Brian Martin, Aaron Malberg, Scott Ragle, Farah Sanders, Janice Wright, & Heidi Wolff
Lawfully Wedded will run July 25, 27 Aug 2, 8, 10, 17 @ 8:00pm.
Gorgeous Hussy: An Interview with Joan Crawford brings the iconic star back to life for some drinks and conversation.  When an ambitious young journalist sneaks into Joan Crawford's Beverly Hills Hotel suite, he thinks he is about to get the interview of his career.  But the aging movie star has questions of her own and in a strange twist of vodka and make-up, the tables are turned and the interviewer becomes a full participant, revealing the woman behind the icon...
This play by Morgan Ludlow will be directed by Brady Brophy-Hilton and will feature the amazing talents of Susan Jackson and Ryan Hayes two local actors you will not want to miss giving a tour de force performance!
Gorgeous Hussy will run July 26, Aug 1, 3, 9, 15, 16 @ 8:00pm.
