Opening Weekend has arrived for Lauren-Reilly Eliot's production of The MotherF**cker With The Hat

It's been two years since by the Lauren-Reilly Eliot Company as graced our stage, but this weekend, they're returning IN FORCE with Stephen Aldy Guirgis's The MotherF**cker With The Hat!

From the Facebook Event page:
Nominated for six Tony awards (including Best Play) and three Drama League Awards, strap yourself in for this high-octane verbal cage match about love, fidelity, addiction and misplaced haberdashery. From the playwright of "The Last Days of Judas Iscariot" and "Jesus Hopped the 'A' Train"; this wildly candid and colorful comedy tells the story of a couple whose desire for each other is only bested by their drive for self-sabotage. Jackie and Veronica have been in love since the eighth grade. Nothing can come between them…except sobriety…and a motherfucking hat.

Directed by Scott Gremillion

Cast: Andre Trahan, Brittany Cernek, Skip Woods, Angela Thomas and Andrew Lee Vincent

Dates: November 13, 14, 19, 20, 21 @ 7:30pm
