Funny Duo in THINGS BEING WHAT THEY ARE kicks off new Mainstage Season at Live Theatre Workshop

 

June 20 – July 20, 2019 

(No show July 4^th)

 

Stephen Frankenfield and Steve Wood kick off the new Live Theatre Workshop MainStage season with THINGS BEING WHAT THEY ARE, written by Wendy McLeod and directed by Samantha Cormier. The new season includes eight shows selected by LTW Artistic Director Sabian Trout and one show that is also part of the Family Series of LTW shows. Season ticket packages and individual tickets are now on sale.

In THINGS BEING WHAT THEY ARE, up-and-coming Bill (Steve Wood) is setting up a new condo for himself and his soon-to-arrive wife when he gets an unexpected visit from Jack (Stephen Frankenfield), who at first appears to be a nightmare neighbor. What follows is a sharp comedy about the lives we dream of having versus the lives we end up living. 

"Wendy McLeod writes plays that are funny without being cliché. While an 'odd couple' theme is far from new, THINGS BEING WHAT THEY ARE is different in that it's composed with a great degree of refinement, social grace and intellect. It strikes a perfect balance between laugh-out-loud humor and thought-provoking quips. I would also speculate Ms. McLeod is commenting on the unacceptability of stereotype and unconscious bias toward any human being, which includes white males," say LTW Artistic Director Sabian Trout.

"Despite (or maybe it's because of) its origin in a female mind, this funny, charming, and rather moving play probes the vulnerabilities of middle-class maleness with…good humor, affection and incisive accuracy." ~ Chicago Tribune
