LAUGHING WILD
By
Christopher Durang
The Edge Ensemble Theatre Company is celebrating its 35th anniversary year by reprising the first show that Founding Artistic Director Kim Dupuis directed for The Edge way back in its first season in 1990–91. Audiences are invited to revisit the wildly popular production of Laughing Wild by Christopher Durang. An added interest is that Scot Tolman will be again performing the role he originally created. His co-star this time around will be Melanie Plenda-Washer.
The play delves into the relationship between a man and a woman who encounter each other in the tuna fish aisle of a supermarket and reveal, hilariously, their own peculiar brands of negativity. It debuted in an off-Broadway production in 1987 with Christopher Durang, who also appeared in the Los Angeles production.
Performances are August 22-23 and 28-30 at 7:30 PM and August 24 and 31 at 2 PM, at The Edge Theater. Tickets are $20 general admission, $18 for seniors and students, and must be purchased at the door by cash or check. No credit cards at this time. For reservations, call 603-352-5657 or send an email to theedgeensemble@aol.com. Visit The Edge’s website at www.edgeensemble.org for more information about The Edge Ensemble Theatre Company.
