The Magrath sisters - Lenny, Meg and Babe - face a day of reckoning in Crimes of the Heart, the Pulitzer-Prize winning Southern comedy by Beth Henley. Babe has shot her husband but is now out on bail. Meg escaped the family home in Hazelehurst, Mississippi, but is back after a failed singing career on the West coast, and Lenny is celebrating her 30th birthday by sticking a candle in a cookie and making desperate wishes. Meanwhile Grandpa, who raised the girls after their mother's sensational suicide, is laid up in the hospital, possibly forever. The darkly comic family drama ran for more than 500 performances on Broadway and was adapted into a movie with Diane Keaton, Jessica Lange and Sissy Spacek.

Tax-Dodging Farce Love, Sex, and the I.R.S. at Bowie Playhouse

Full Price:
$17.00
Our Price:
$8.50

Bowie Community Theatre presents the hilarious tax-evading farce Love, Sex and the I.R.S. Jon Trachtman and Leslie Arthur, two heterosexual men, have been roommates for years. In an attempt to save money, Jon has filed income tax returns listing the pair as married. Now with the I.R.S. about to send an agent to investigate, all hell breaks loose. Leslie must pretend to be Jon's wife; Jon's mother comes to meet her son's fiancée; and the landlord doesn't approve of unwed couples under the same roof. The play, written by actors Billy van Zandt and Jane Milmore, has been produced in more than 10,000 theaters both in America and internationally. Learn More

The play was very good. The cast was exceptionally well versed and did an excellent job.

I thought it was a little too long.

We have seen a number of productions at the Bowie Playhouse, but this was a standout. The play is both poignant and funny, and the acting was professional. Especially convincing was the the three sisters' "mean girl" cousin. The actor who played the lawyer would be right at home in a John Gresham movie. Definitely worth seeing!
