The theatrical premiere of “Bad Things for Good Reasons”

The Meramec Theatre presents the theatrical premiere of “Bad Things for Good Reasons” by Jim Greer Feb. 15-18 at 7:30 p.m. and Feb. 19 at 2 p.m.

In rural southern Missouri, a group of five people gather for what starts out as a friendly visit. Soon, however, the visit turns into a tragedy that will forever change the lives of all those involved. Al is a 52-year-old, uneducated scam artist. Valerie is young, beautiful and abused. Billy is a fun-loving maintenance man, and Lisa is his educated and lusty wife. Mark is a good-looking, but naïve, high school history teacher. Five will arrive, and four will survive.

“Bad Things for Good Reasons” playwright Greer is a member of the Meramec Theatre department faculty. The play is directed by Keith Oliver, with set design by Rick Willmore.

The Meramec Theatre no longer takes reservations. Tickets are not required; seating is on a first-come basis, and admission is free. The Meramec campus is located at 11333 Big Bend Road.
