Theatre 810

Acting Unlimited, Inc presents PG-50 (Parental Guidance Advised) Children under 50 may want to be accompanied by a parent or other person over 50 to explain why the funny parts are funny. Three delightful one-act storytelling pieces written and performed by three dynamic and talented Lafayette women (plus one husband!) Wet Dreams: Tales from the Third Coast.  Written and performed by Sally O. Donlon. Harry: A One-Woman Show.  Written and performed by Mitu Dasgupta. Sex, Lies and Social Security. Written by Patricia Drury Sidman and performed by Patricia and Bob Sidman. Wet Dreams was, in part, first performed by Sally O. Donlon in December, 2011 as part of the Hub City Storytelling Festival at Cite des Arts. Sally's talent for storytelling matches her considerable talents as a community leader. Her lively personality shines through in these tales recalling and re-imagining experiences. "No one escapes childhood.... The outcome, though, depends on your point of view!" Harry has been performed by Mitu Dasgupta over the years for friends and family. By popular demand, she now brings this entertaining tale to the stage. Mitu is active in the arts in Lafayette and has acted in several Acadiana theatre productions. In Harry, a woman deals with a past lover and a current unwanted pursuer only to face her present lover who wasn't there in the first place. "Come with an open mind and a bit of imagination to sort it all out." Sex, Lies and Social Security was originally produced by AUI in 2009 for the Minnesota Fringe Festival, one of the largest such festivals in the U.S., where it received rave reviews. It was performed then, as now, by writer Patricia Drury (now Sidman) and Bob Sidman. Patricia is a storyteller new to Lafayette and Bob has acted in numerous productions in the area. Sex, Lies and Social Security is both personal and satirical and depicts some of the hazards - and rewards - of internet dating over age 50. "It ain't over 'til it's over and it ain't over yet."
