Bowie Community Theatre Presents:
by Del Shores
Directed by John Nunemaker
This is an outrageous "black comedy about white trash", says playwright, Del Shores. Winner! 14 Drama League awards including Best Production. The author of Daddy's Dyin' (Who's Got the Will?) brings you a comedy that was nominated for over thirty awards during its long run in Los Angeles. The ensemble cast of Sordid Lives puts a comedic twist on a story of unconditional love, acceptance and "coming out" in a Texas family, as they all converge for the matriarch's funeral. The eccentric characters include: a mother who is wound too tight and in denial over her gay son, a barfly/singer at the local watering hole, a cheating heart whose wooden legs accidentally aid in the death of his mistress, Peggy, a good Christian woman (and the family matriarch), in a motel room, and a dozen others too unbelievable to mention. Chaos erupts in Winters, Texas, when the cheating heart's wife tries her hand at revenge therapy inspired by "Thelma & Louise" along with her best friend. Their lives intertwine, giving each a new perspective, honesty and meaning. FOR ADULTS ONLY! Mature subject matter and language.
