Acting Unlimited, Inc. (AUI) presents “PG-50,” an evening of three original locally-written one-act shows humorously depicting life, love and imagination over the age of 50. Performances are Friday, February 24, 2012 to Sunday, February 26, 2012 at Theatre 810, 810 Jefferson St. in Lafayette, LA. Friday and Saturday performances are at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday matinee is at 2:00 p.m.
The shows are “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 and “Sex, Lies, and Social Security,” written by Patricia Drury Sidman and performed by her with her husband, Robert Sidman. The three local women playwrights/performers combine storytelling, acting, and even a slide show in these lively and entertaining tales.
“Life is just plain funny, and over age 50 it gets even funnier,” says Patricia Sidman, one of the writers. With tongue in cheek, she notes “We do suggest that children under 50 may want to bring a parent or other 50+ adult to explain the jokes, just in case.”
Parts of “Wet Dreams” were performed by Sally O. Donlon in December, 2011 at the Hub City Theater and Storytelling Festival at Cite des Arts. Mitu Dasgupta has performed “Harry” on numerous occasions for friends and family and by popular demand now brings it to the stage. “Sex, Lies and Social Security” was presented by
AUI and performed by Patricia and Bob Sidman at the 2009 Minnesota Fringe Festival in St. Paul, MN where it received rave reviews.
Theatre 810 is operated by AUI and is Lafayette's newest theatre venue. It offers an intimate space for new or small theatre companies and local playwrights to offer shows at modest expense to enthusiastic audiences and where the community has the opportunity to experience a wide variety of theater performances.
Tickets are $10 and are available at http://pg-50.eventbrite.com or 337-484-0172.
