LFC Winter Shows

The Lost Flamingo Company announced its Winter shows the other day, to the excitement of many a theater fan. Come Winter quarter, LFC will be producing four shows:


The Vagina Monologues
Eve Ensler's is made up of a varying number of monologues read by a varying number of women. Every monologue somehow relates to the vagina, be it through sex, love, rape, menstruation, mutilation, masturbation, birth, orgasm, the variety of names for the vagina, or simply as a physical aspect of the female body. A recurring theme throughout the piece is the vagina as a tool of female empowerment, and the ultimate embodiment of individuality.
Performed during the week of Valentine's Day, all proceeds go to local women's shelter, My Sister's Place.

A Bad Year for Tomatoes
A two-act comedy by John Patrick, the play deals with the very funny misfortunes of a famous television actress who seeks to get "away from it all" in a small New England Town. Fed up with the pressure and demands of her acting career, the famous Myra Marlowe leases a house in the tiny New England hamlet of Beaver Haven, and settles down to write her autobiography. She is successful in turning aside the offers pressed on her by her long-time agent, but dealing with her nosy, omnipresent neighbors requires a bit more creativity...

Deathtrap
Ira Levin's 1978 play holds the record as the longest running comedy-thriller on Broadway. In 1982 it was adapted into a film of the same name starring Christopher Reeve, Michael Caine and Dylan Cannon.
'Nuff said.

The Pillowman
A play by Martin McDonagh, this drama tells the tale of Katurian, a fiction writer living in a police state who is interrogated about the gruesome content of his short stories, and their similarities to a number of bizarre incidents occurring in his town.

Auditions will be held early next quarter, within the first two weeks of the quarter (Exact dates TBA). LFC asks that you have one monologue, poem, or joke to perform; it need not be memorized.
