ARSENIC AND ROSES approaches

 

Greeting card writer Charles is having one of the worst nights of his life. He has been rejected by his would-be fiancé, his career is going nowhere and it is raining cats and dogs outside. Drenched from head to toe, he ducks into a late-night bistro at closing time. To take matters from bad to worse he runs smack into a certain someone from his past... someone with quite a grudge! An early work from Dallas playwright and Audacity Artistic Director Brad McEntire, ARSENIC & ROSES is a darkly comic tale of a parakeet-murderer and the passive-aggressive woman who saves herself by saving him. 

 

Directed by Jeff Hernandez and featuring Teresa Valenza as Katherine and Jeff Swearingen as Charles. 

Playing at the Bath House Cultural Center, 512 East Lawther Drive Dallas, TX 75218, 214-670-8749 

July 18 at 8 PM, July 19 at 5 PM, July 23 at 8 PM, July 25 at 5 PM, August 1 at 8 PM and August 8 at 5 PM.
