SETTING THE HOUSE ON FIRE
SOUTH BREWSTER COUNTY—Last Minute Low Budget Productions has announced its first show of the season. On Thursday, November 16, Flambé by Zena Zeller will premiere at the Cinnabar Theater on Highway 118. Zeller, an accomplished playwright, is a long-time resident of Big Bend. This is the second of her works to be staged in South County.
There will be a gala opening night celebration, as usual. Evening performances, starting at 8 p.m. will be held on Friday, November 17 and again November 23 and 24. There will be 2 p.m. Saturday matinees on the 18th and 25th. Tickets are $10 for these outstanding shows.
In its two-plus decades of putting on plays, this non-profit community theater group has always done matinee performances of its shows, even though it was never possible to totally darken whatever venue it was using. Not being able to keep out Ol’ Mister Sol took away some of the drama. Now, with the completion of its very own building, that very important element of stage lighting—darkness—is closer to a possibility. Bring on daytime theater!
Flambé, directed by Catfish Callaway, features a fairly large cast of eight, many of whom are new to the LMLB boards. The comedy spies on the domestic doings of a divorced mother of two, her alcoholic ex, and her flamboyant neighbor. There will be lurkings in the shrubbery.
Mark your calendars.
