Pandora Productions Presents DIE! MOMMIE DIE!

Pandora Productions ends her family themed Season with Die! Mommie Die!, Charles Busch's outrageous, campy, impossible comedy. Poisoned suppositories are just the beginning of this thriller comedy with multiple suspects, with many motives and a twist we never see coming.

Ex-singer-actress, Angela Andrews, is trapped in a hateful marriage with film producer Sol Sussman. Desperate to find happiness with her younger lover, an out of work TV actor, Tony Parker, Angela murders her husband with the aid of a poisoned suppository. In a plot that reflects Greek tragedy as well as Hollywood kitsch, Angela's Elektra-like daughter, Edith, convinces her emotionally disturbed son, Lance, that they must avenge their father's death by killing their mother. Lance, demanding proof of Angela's crime, slips some LSD into her after-dinner coffee. A surprising twist ending has all of the Sussman family's dirty laundry aired out for once and for all.

Die! Mommie Die! stars: Jack Wallen as the 'matriarch' of this insane family Angela Arden, Sean Childress as her long suffering husband Sol, Sabrina Spalding and Eli Lucas as their truly screwed up kids Edith and Lance, Michael Lee Stein has his own secrets as the paramour of...everyone, Tony Parker and the wiser than she looks maid Bootsie is played by Susan Crocker.
