Steve Martin, the renowned comedian, actor writer, producer, musician, provides a wild satire adapted from the classic German play about Louise and Theo Markes, a couple whose conservative existence is shattered when Louise's bloomers fall down in public. Though she pulls them up quickly, he thinks the incident will cost him his job as a government clerk. Louise's momentary display does not result in the feared scandal but it does attract two infatuated men, each of whom wants to rent the spare room in the Markes' home. Oblivious of their amorous objectives, Theo splits the room between them, happy to collect rent from both the foppish poet and the whiny hypochondriac. Tanner Sroufe directs Brent Whitted, Sarah Kesselring, Kelly Hughes, Myles Hughes and Drew Groves. Saturday June 28 matinee performance only - 2:00pm. Thursdays June 19 and 26 7.30pm - tix available at $10)
HOW THE OTHER HALF LOVES was written by renowned English playwright, Alan Ayckbourn in 1969, one of some 90 plays. It is a farce following the consequences of an adulterous affair between a married man and his boss's wife and their attempts to cover their tracks by roping in a third couple to be their alibi, resulting in a chain of misunderstandings, conflicts and revelations. The play is known to have secured Ayckbourn's runaway success as a playwright. This fast-paced farce weaves together the lives of three couples, one dinner party, and a whole lot of miscommunication. With Ayckbourn’s signature blend of clever structure and biting humor, How The Other Half Loves is a hilarious exploration of class, marriage, and the secrets we try to keep hidden. The three couples, directed by local theatre luminary Henry Avery, are performed by well-known Albuquerque actors Colleen Neary McClure and Clifton Chadwick, Abby Van Gerpen and Matthew Van Wettering, Michelle Volpe Roe and Yannig Morin.
