Dark Comedy of Two Shorts 'SIBLING RIVALRY' in 'Rosemary & Ginger & Lone Star' - Opens at Lounge Theatre
ABOUT THE SHOW
"SIBLING RIVALRY"
What do three guys in Maynard, Texas in 1975 have to do with two women in Providence, Rhode Island in 1993? Our siblings are our closest ties to our past, and the mirrors into our future. No matter how much we try to transform ourselves into the people we wish to be, our siblings are our shrewdest reminders of who we are and where we came from.
In Lone Star by James McLure, Roy has returned home from Vietnam to his wife, his 1959 pink Thunderbird convertible, and his kid brother, Ray. As he tries to acclimate himself to the people and places he knew so well, he finds that nothing can stay the same, and home might not be as comforting as he had hoped.
Rosemary with Ginger by Edward Allen Baker, returns in its first Los Angeles production in over twenty years. The Peter Pan Diner is finally closing its doors, and with them, a chapter of Ginger's life. For as long as they can remember Ginger has been the rock to Rosemary's wind. Now they are forced to ask the questions: can we learn how to be better people or will we kill each other trying?
