SUMMARY:PICK YOUR EAR PRODUCTIONS presents: Merciful Delusions: An Evening of Six One Act Plays by Tennessee Williams
DESCRIPTION:PICK YOUR EAR PRODUCTIONS is pleased to present a repertoire of what may be considered some of Tennessee Williams’ most popular one act plays\, produced by Nicole Gut and directed by Tony Award nominee\, Lorraine Serabian.\n\nIncluded will be Hello from Bertha\, The Lady of Larkspur Lotion\, Moony's Kid Don't Cry\, A Perfect Analysis Given by a Parrot\, The Case of the Crusted Petunias\, and This Property is Condemned.\n\nFeatured in “Hello from Bertha” and “A Perfect Analysis Given by a Parrot\,” will be Nicole Gut.\n\nHELLO FROM BERTHA: This one act play was written in 1946. The story takes place in a bedroom of an East St. Louis brothel. Bertha\, a prostitute\, is very sick and has been lying in bed for two weeks. Goldie\, the madam\, needs the room for business. She wants Bertha to leave\, and tells her to go back home or to a hospital. Bertha is very much alone. In her delirium\, Bertha relives the moments of her past love\, Charlie\, as well as former events and delusions.\n\nA PERFECT ANALYSIS GIVEN BY A PARROT: Written in 1958\, is a delightful short play about two fading\, overdressed ladies of a certain age\, who are members of the Ladies’ Auxiliary of the “Sons of Mars” and hit the city of St. Louis for the annual convention. However\, in their search for “men” and a “good time\,” they get separated from their party and wind up in a third-rate bar\, drinking beer and trying hard to be cheerful. Each is soon finding fault with the other and they are resigned to having a miserable time\, when all of a sudden\, the doors burst open and a pair of “Sons of Mars\,” leapfrog in to save these damsels-in-distress.\n\nCast members include: Lena Clark\, Patricia Clune\, Jen Fellman\,\nMelanie Futorian\, Brandon Grimes\, Michael S. Horowitz\, Elizabeth Maille\,\nJason Min\, Katherine O’Sullivan\, Maria Sivakova\, Natapong Theansawatkit\,\nCory Walker.\n\nAbout Producer Nicole Gut and Director Lorraine Serabian:\n\nFounder of “Pick Your Ear Productions\,” NICOLE GUT studied at the Neighborhood Playhouse\, and had performed in “Evita\,” and “A Chorus Line” in New Hampshire\, prior to joining the European tour of “Hair” for eight months.
