The psychological thriller, BUG by Tracy Letts, will be presented in the Warner's Studio Theatre! Set in a seedy motel room, the play centers on the meeting between Agnes, a divorced waitress with a fondness for drugs and isolation, and Peter, a Gulf War drifter introduced to her. Agnes stays at a hotel in hopes of avoiding her abusive ex-husband, Jerry. At first, she lets Peter sleep platonically on her floor, but its not long after she promotes him to the bed. Matters become more complicated as Jerry eagerly returns, expecting to resume their relationship. On top of that, there's a hidden bug infestation problem - which has Peter believing this is the result of experiments conducted on him during his stay at an army hospital. Their fears soon escalate to paranoia, conspiracy theories and twisted psychological motives. Performances are April 9, 15, 16, 22 & 23, 2022 at 8:00 pm and April 10, & 24, 2022 at 2:00 pm.
