Arnie is a barber in the shop owned by his loving sister Betty. Ernie is a sweet man with self-esteem issues, and he’s possibly mildly autistic. One day, he’s giving a haircut to the meanest, nastiest gangster in town, Carlos, when Ernie accidentally sticks his new pair of pointy scissors into Carlos’ ear. Ernie tries to conceal Carlos’ body when Betty arrives. They are soon joined by Sammy, a fellow who clearly has a yen for Betty and who also owes Carlos a considerable sum of money. This play about love and poor motor skills features a cast that includes Angela Bruning, Anibal Silveyra, Richy Storrs, Monika Vidakovic, Danielle Weeks, and Steve Young. Clara Rodriguez is the playwright and director. Bonnie Kalisher Dukes produces for Theatre West.
