Three by Tenn: The Gnadiges Fraulein, This Property is Condemned, & A Perfect Analysis Given By a Parrot at Sherman Playhouse

"THREE BY TENN" Directed by Katherine Almquist March 6, 7, 13, 14, 15 (Matinee), 20, 21, 22 (Matinee), 27, 28 Fridays & Saturdays: 8:00 PM Sunday Matinees: 2:00 PM THE GNADIGES FRAULEIN: The scene is a rickety bunkhouse, for "permanent transients" in Cocaloony Key, off the southern tip of Florida. The characters include a kooky society gossip columnist, the coarse landlady, a demented Viennese opera singer, an aggressively territorial Cocaloony bird, and a sweaty, hammer-wielding handyman. Outrageously funny and, at times, heartbreaking, it's a fascinating and deeply affecting study of humanity. THIS PROPERTY IS CONDEMNED: A young girl, abandoned and aching for human connection, shares the story of her sister, the "main attraction" at a condemned boarding house, with a young boy as they wander along the train tracks during the Great Depression. A PERFECT ANALYSIS GIVEN BY A PARROT: Two overdressed women "in the autumn of their youth" hit town at the annual convention of the Sons of Mars in Memphis. But in their search for a good time with the men at the convention, they get lost from their party, and end up in a seedy bar where they spend the night tearing each other apart in the cattiest - and funniest - of ways.
