SEPTEMBER 8 – OCTOBER 2

BY CHRISTOPHER DURANG
DIRECTED BY GENE’ FOUCHE’

Felicity is suddenly in crisis: Is her new husband, whom she married when drunk, a terrorist? Or just crazy? Or both? Is her father’s hobby of butterfly collecting really a cover for his involvement in a shadow government? Honing in on our private terrors both at home and abroad, Durang oddly relieves our homeland “insecurity” in this black comedy for an era of yellow, orange and red alerts.
