Austin's Last Act Theater Company continues their 2012-2013 Season with THE HAPPY COUPLE by Texan playwright James Venhaus.

Michael Meigs of AustinLiveTheatre.com recently sat down with James to discuss this thrilling production. We are grateful to Mr. Meigs for sharing this content with BroadwayWorld.

To celebrate their anniversary, Michael and Mary Elizabeth visit the first home they ever lived in together. But the visit takes an unexpected turn when they discover a group of squatters living in the house. Last Act Theatre Company is proud to present this moving story about what happens when circumstances force people to face the reality of their situations. See what truths bubble to the surface when two different worlds collide!

THE HAPPY COUPLE, directed by Karen Alvarado, stars Austin favorites Suzanne Balling and Scot Friedman as the titular Happy Couple, and Rob Novak, Derek Vandi, and Lindsay McKenna as the squatters. This stellar cast and James Venhaus' award-winning script are sure to take you on an emotional roller coaster ride.
