Raw- unnaturally or painfully exposed, as flesh, by removal of the skin or
natural integument. To stay fresh, current and exciting we are introducing, "Theatre in the Raw", an escape from what some may call traditional theatre. "Theatre in the Raw" is being developed as a way to expose our audiences to the many wonderfully diverse, controversial, dark, funny, witty and different types of plays and or musicals that you might see in larger cities. These shows are not meant for everyone but they might be meant for you. This is theatre without all the bells and whistles. Here a director will take the script with an ensemble of actors and really work on presenting the play. No fancy lights or sets just a quality show and it's your opportunity to talk back to us. After each performance join us for an informal discussion about the play with the actors and director and give us feedback on what you thought and where we might go in the future. |

It is Good Friday. Matthew and Wilma have just set up home in Prattsville,
Kansas. Wilma had been burning churches in Oklahoma forcing the couple to flee
across the prairie states as felons. Enter Herman, a violin-playing plumber with
enormous feet and angel-like qualities, who fixes the young couple’s sink, only
to discover a beautiful Easter egg clogging the pipes. Wilma, believes the
Blessed Virgin is leading her to a wonderful occasion that will happen on Easter
Day. Meanwhile, the town handyman, Zaddock Pratt, has been having religious
visions of his own. He also picks up cable TV in his brain, thanks to a steel
plate, and sporadically shouts out incoming news, weather reports and sitcom
theme songs. And that is just the beginning to what this story has in store for
you. A series of twists, turns and unbelievable situations will leave you
wondering about faith, love and miracles. |

Cow, slob, pig how many insults can you hear before you have
to stand up and defend the woman you love? Tom faces just that question when he
falls for Helen, a bright, funny, sexy young woman who happens to be plus-sized
- and then some. Forced to explain his new relationship to his shallow (although
shockingly funny) friends, he finally comes to terms with his own preconceptions
of the importance of conventional good looks. |
