Summer 'Stay-cation' at the REP
Are gas prices ruining your summer plans? No need to worry, the REP will save you.
The Repertory East Playhouse will continue the highly anticipated "81 Series" on Friday, July 18, at 8:00pm with the critically acclaimed drama, HurlyBurly by David Rabe. Be A Part of The 81 at the Opening Night Wine Reception at 7:00pm with curtain at 8:00pm. Opening Night Wine Reception is sponsored by Loose Goose Wine Festival.
"The 81 Series, or our 'studio series' features limited engagement performances of a more academia, provocative pieces of theatre by well known and respected playwrights throughout the theatre world. Most of the themes explored in The 81 Series deal with pertinent social ideals and values of American society." explains REP Artistic Director Ovington Michael Owston.
HurlyBurly is a riveting dark comedy which chronicles the non-events in the lives of a group of fast talking, narcissistic, L.A. based professionals, nose deep in the decadent, perverted, cocaine laden culture that is Hollywood. We follow the characters, who can't seem to slow down long enough to breathe, let alone make sense of their lives, as they pursue their sex crazed, dope ridden vision of the American Dream.
The Off-Broadway production, directed by Mike Nichols and starring William Hurt, Sigourney Weaver, Judith Ivey, Christopher Walken, Harvey Keitel and Jerry Stiller, received high praise, "A powerful permanent contribution to American drama.... Riveting, disturbing, fearsomely funny.... Has a savage sincerity and a crackling theatrical vitality. This deeply felt play deserves as wide an audience as possible." -Newsweek.
HurlyBurly opens Friday July 18 and will run through August 2. Show times are Friday and Saturdays at 8:00pm and Sundays at 2:00pm. THIS IS A LIMITED ENGAGEMENT PERFORMANCE. This show contains adult language and adult situations and is intended for mature audiences only. For tickets, purchase online at www.repeastplayhouse.org or call 661-288-0000.
