Red Hot Patriot
Spend this election season with the story of the unsinkable Molly Ivins, the famously brassy newspaper columnist and best-selling author starring acclaimed national actress, Rhonda Brown. A true Texas original, Ivins was a sharp-tongued wit who skewered the political establishment with her unforgettable humor and wisdom. The play celebrates Ivins’ courage and tenacity and encourages Americans to become the citizens they need to be.
A talkback with Suzii Paynter, Valinda Bolton, and Rhonda Brown will follow Sunday’s 2pm matinee.
The Tiny Banger
Dope Fiend, Jailbird, and their son Tiny Banger are a homeless family trying to survive an increasingly hostile city illustrated by a contemporary spin on Charlie Chaplin’s Tramp archetype and film aesthetic. Pervasive perceptions about homelessness lead to criminalization measures that keep this family trapped in the cycle of homelessness and incarceration. As the silent film world strips away, audiences encounter the messy, complex world in which the family actually lives.
Performances Dec 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, and 16 are free and open to the public. Join us after each show for a Mix and Mingle. Enjoy food and chat about the new play!
The Tiny Banger is a Workshop Production of the new play by Lane Michael Stanley. Directed by Adam Sussman, The Tiny Banger stars Ray Roberts, Alaithia Valez, Sean Moran, Juliet Embry, Elizabeth Mason, Khali McDuff, Amani Alexander, and Brandon Pegram.
Additional performances will occur at United Methodist Church at 10am on Dec. 8; at Trinity Street Players in partnership with Mobile Loaves and Fishes Dec 17 at 7pm; and at Community First Amphitheatre Dec 20 at 7:30pm.
