Ringwald Theatre to Stage BUYER & CELLAR in January
The Ringwald Theatre is thrilled to present the hit one man show, BUYER & CELLAR by Jonathan Tolins, at its Ferndale space from January 8-31, 2016.
A part of the "Season of Classics", BUYER & CELLAR celebrates one of the most classic performers there is: Barbra Streisand! BUYER & CELLAR will run in rep with another Barbra-centric show, I'll Eat You Last.
Winner of the 2014-2015 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Solo Show. "Jonathan Tolins has concocted an irresistible one-man play from the most peculiar of fictitious premises-an underemployed Los Angeles actor goes to work in Barbra Streisand's Malibu, Calif., basement-allowing the playwright to ruminate with delicious wit and perspicacity on the solitude of celebrity, the love-hate attraction between gay men and divas, and the melancholy that lurks beneath narcissism. This seriously funny slice of absurdist whimsy creates the illusion of a stage filled with multiple people, all of them with their own droll point of view." -NY Times
Alex More has a story to tell. A struggling actor in L.A., he takes a job working in the Malibu basement of a beloved megastar. One day, the Lady Herself comes downstairs to play. It feels like real bonding in the basement, but will their relationship ever make it upstairs?
BUYER & CELLAR stars Richard Payton and is directed by Brandy Joe Plambeck, featuring a set design by Jennifer Maiseloff.
