Charles Busch's campy noir classic, DIE MOMMIE DIE! stars the hilarious Drew Droege (Bright Colors and Bold Patterns, Chloe, Logo's Cocktails & Classics) as aging Hollywood star Angela Arden. The cast also features Pat Towne, Julanne Chidi Hill, Gina Torrecilla, Andrew Carter and Tom DeTrinis.
Trapped in a hateful marriage with sleazy film producer Sol and desperate to find happiness with her gorgeous young lover Tony, Angela murders her husband. But when her children, Edith and Lance, discover what she's done, they decide to take revenge! Family secrets are revealed and you'll never see the surprise twist coming. This Greek tragedy on acid is an over-the-top comedy of Gay Hollywood proportions. You won't want to miss this rollicking good time!
DIE, MOMMIE, DIE! has assembled an award-winning design team with set design by Pete Hickok, lighting design by Matthew Brian Denman, costume design by Allison Dillard, sound design by ReBecca Kessin, and properties design by Michael O'Hara.
