LOVE, SEX AND THE I.R.S. Begins 3/5 at Barter Theatre
"Love, Sex and the I.R.S." is a delightful farce comedy which will show for a limited run on Barter Stage II beginning March 5.
In this zany production, two out-of-work musicians, Jon Trachtman and Leslie Arthur are sharing an apartment. To save money, Jon has been filing tax returns listing the duo as a married couple. The day of reckoning comes when the Internal Revenue Service informs the "couple" they are going to be investigated. Twists of fate, mistaken identities, a mother, girlfriends and a whole host of hilarious wit fill this story with complicated matters in ways unimaginable.
Mary Lucy Bivins, who is beginning her 11th season as a director and member of Barter's Resident Acting Company, will direct "Love, Sex and the I.R.S." Some years ago, Bivins acted in a production of "Love, Sex and the I.R.S." and she said the play is best described as a production where, "definition, logic and plausibility take a back seat to fun." Bivins hopes that audiences will, "have as much fun with this show as [she] did."
Barrett Guyton will appear as Jon Trachtman and Andrew Hampton Livingston will play Leslie Arthur in Barter's production of "Love, Sex and the I.R.S." Other actors will include: Abbey Hunt, Rick McVey, Sean Maximo Campos, Tricia Matthews, Holly Williams and Samuel Floyd.
"Love, Sex and the I.R.S." is the first full-length play written by award-winning writers Billy Van Zandt and Jane Milmore originally produced in 1979.
"Love, Sex and the I.R.S." is made possible by corporate sponsor Doris C. Shuman, CPA, PC. The Barter is funded in part by the Virginia Commission for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.
