Tongue in Cheek Theater Productions to Bring Political Comedy BUFFALO HEIGHTS to Planet Connections

Tongue in Cheek Theater Productions brings political comedy, BUFFALO HEIGHTS, to Planet Connections this summer.

Deported from France, expatriate Fran, a lesbian, attempts to start a new life in the land of opportunity, Buffalo, NY. Her new career as a high school French teacher is sidetracked after getting on the bad side of a congresswoman's power-hungry daughter.

Born of an idea producing artistic director Jake Lipman had to combine comedy with the dark conflicts in the classic plays, THE CHILDREN'S HOUR and RHINOCEROS, this new work, BUFFALO HEIGHTS, explores - through absurdist comedy - the ultimate victories of pride and justice. The play received a Puffin Foundation grant in 2014. www.tictheater.com.
