This new play from Gadfly Theatre Productions contributes to Minnesota's marriage equality discussion through the hilarious story of 16-year-old Piper, a young lady graduating from high school while negotiating her complex family life, intergenerational dating and her own messy secrets. The daughter of lesbian moms, Piper's story could have been pulled from the headlines of any newspaper in America. This world premiere was written by Gadfly co-artistic director Immanuel Elliott and Gadfly by Association L.B. Fitz. The show will be directed by Elliott.

By the Way, Meet Vera Stark: Sly Satire Skewers Hollywood Racism

Full Price:: $43.00 - $55.00
Our Price:: $21.50 - $27.50

Set in Hollywood over a 70-year period, Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage's pseudo-biographical comedy By the Way, Meet Vera Stark follows the life of a headstrong African-American actress who begins a career in the 1930s, at a time when her only shot at success lay in stealing small scenes in big Hollywood blockbusters. Seventy years later, film buffs reflect on the life and legacy of the controversial star, whose eventual fame and fortune came at the price of perpetuating dangerous stereotypes. Nottage artfully blends comedy and social commentary for a thoroughly entertaining yet thought-provoking picture of the cultural climate that shaped Vera Stark. Clever and illuminating, this show draws on screwball films of the 1930s and uses today's fascination with celebrity and controversy to get to the truth behind the legend, and reflect on who she might have been if she'd lived in a different time.
