I just wanted to give y’all a reminder about Backseat Sandbar writer Hank Willenbrink’s play Miranda Branson Branson Miranda going into it’s final weekend. I think spending a little time during your holiday weekend with a local written and produced piece of theater sounds like a fine, fine idea.
The Necessary Theatre presents MIRANDA BRANSON BRANSON MIRANDA, a world
premiere by Louisville’s own Hank Willenbrink. Five years ago Miranda’s
father, the Magician, made her mother disappear…or did he? Now
Miranda is haunted by the two women her father sawed in
half…nightly…who claim to be her Mother. Her best friend is horning
in on her indie rock boyfriend, and the truth won’t set her free.To
reconnect with her mother, Miranda has to travel to Branson,
Missouri–the family-friendly Las Vegas: home of Yakov Smirnoff, Shoji
Tabuchi, Table Rock Lake, and a gigantic Titanic museum that is a
replica of the ill-fated luxury liner. MIRANDA BRANSON BRANSON MIRANDA
is a surreal, hilarious comic drama about the perils of growing up, the
anxieties of youth, the liberation of leaving home, and what happens
when what you find isn’t what you thought it was.Featuring TNT
Artistic Director Tad Chitwood and veterans Cara Hicks, and Hallie
Kirk, MIRANDA BRANSON BRANSON MIRANDA also showcases some of
Louisville’s up and coming theater artists including Madeline Marchal,
Aaron Craker, Jane Mattingly, and Madeleine Miller. The production will
be directed by the author. Call (502) 454-4370 for reservations. Please
note that credit cards can not be accepted for payment.May 21 – 23, 2009 at 8pm
