"A very funny guilty pleasure." - NY 1 News

 
   

 

 
  Take three delicious, malicious wives, add three miserable, unloving husbands and chill. That's the recipe of Michele Lowe's tantalizing new comedy that had Broadway audiences cheering. The Smell of the Kill revolves around Nicky, Debra and Molly who have tolerated one another during once-a-month dinners for years. While their unseen spouses play golf in the dining room, the women exchange confidences for the first time revealing that all three marriages are on the brink of disaster and all three women are facing the challenges of their lives.   "…nice, mean fun…a deft little anti-love story…light-hearted, cold-hearted…" - Newsday

WE'RE "PAIRING" UP!

 
     
      Ranier Wines of Washington State the makers of Mad Housewife Wine have generously become sponsors of our first show “The Smell of the Kill.” There isn’t a better trio of wines for our clever and somewhat “mad” housewives of our own in Michelle Lowe’s hysterical play. This very charitable wine producer has generously provided their product so that we may offer it to you, as a tasting, at all four performances of “The Smell of the Kill.” As a bonus we will be raffling off four unique purse packs which include three bottles of wine and a Mad Housewife t-shirt at every performance.

So whether you are a subscriber or a single ticket holder don’t miss this funny play and a chance to try some great wine!
