Inspired by the long-running hit NPR show Car Talk -- which is hosted by legendary (real-life) mechanics Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers -- comes the hilarious new musical comedy, Car Talk: The Musical!!! at Central Square Theater. A co-production of Underground Railway Theater and Suffolk University, the show was written by Suffolk faculty member Wesley Savick, with original music by Michael Wartofsky. In it, Rusty Fenders, the hapless owner of a lemon '93 Kia, falls in love with Miata C. LaChassis. She guides him to the Emerald Garage, home to the Wizard of Cahs (portrayed by the recorded, heavily accented voices of Click and Clack themselves). Like the radio show, it's a romantic comedy about being in love with your car -- and so, so much more. Learn More

This is a brilliant play, set in Haiti and very poetic. The music is superlative. Walcott didn't set it in Haiti when he wrote it in the 50s, but given the ways Haiti has been in the news in the past year, that resonance makes it very haunting. Well worth the price of the ticket!Written on Feb 18 2011

Description
Underground Railway Theater and Playwrights' Theatre at Boston University bring the powerful folk parable, Ti-Jean & His Brothers, to Cambridge.
A Carribean family is in crisis; three brothers are pulled into a dangerous game with the Devil in this fanciful, dark, and ultimately hopeful story of battling despair through fierce humor and love.
Ti-Jean & His Brothers celebrates resourcefulness over oppression, and of overcoming injustice through ingenuity and faith.
The production is in commemoration of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, and in celebration of Boston Playwrights' Theatre's 30th anniversary, and of its founder, Carribean playwright Derek Walcott.
