The Tea Sippers' Theatre Company moved into Theatre 810 this weekend in preparation for their latest production, The Pillowman by Martin McDonagh.""The Pillowman" opens in an interrogation room in an unnamed totalitarian dictatorship, Katurian Katurian, a writer, is being interrogated by two detectives, Tupolski and Ariel. Next door, Katurian’s mentally disabled brother Michal waits. The detectives want to know why Katurian’s stories feature gruesome plots about child murder and torture, and in particular, why they seem to mirror a string of recent child murders in the area.
This brutal dark comedy from Martin McDonagh, the master of the horror-comedy, poses unanswerable questions: Can stories hold the power to cause atrocities? Where is the line between truth and fairy tale? Is a life of horror worth living at all? Drawing on inspiration as diverse as Grimm’s Fairy Tales, Kafka, and Antonin Artaud, "The Pillowman" is a dark, twisty, and utterly unforgettable masterpiece from one of Ireland’s most treasured writers.
This is the third production of The Tea Sippers' 5th season, following "The Compleat Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)" by Daniel Singer, Adam Long, and Jess Winfield and "The Rocky Horror Concert Show" by Richard O'Brien."
The Pillowman will run January 21, 22, 23, 28, 29, & 30 at 7:30pm (No Matinees). You can purchase your tickets online at pillowman.eventbrite.com or reserve your seats by phone at (337)484-0172. Tickets are $15 General Admission and $12 for seniors and students with valid school ID.

Thanks to many helping hands (and feet) in our local theatre community, Theatre 810 now has a full stage floor! The addition of the floor brings another level of flexibility to the space, allowing incoming companies the option to paint the floor to coordinate with their sets.
