Little Theatre of Manchester's Evenings @ 7 play reading season opens with Wayne Lemon's Jesus Hates Me on Tuesday, March 13.
Some of the playwright’s proposed set for Jesus Hates Me must be imagined as play readings are generally barren sets, no special costuming or props. But use your
imagine to think of a Wal-Mart mannequin transformed into a crucified Jesus on a latticework cross that marks the 17th hole -- we're told the 18th hole is the Resurrection -- to the impressively detailed Airstream.
Into this world, Wayne Lemon -- former sitcom writer ("Grace Under Fire"), Norman Lear protege and first-time playwright -- has mixed and matched the likes of characters as typical and unique as you're likely to find
in such places. A Texas Baptist preacher's son and UT graduate, Lemon knows these people “like the inside of his pickup truck”.
