Laurie Metcalf, French Stewart and Maile Flanagan reprise their original roles in Justin Tanner's hit comedy. Voice Lessons tells the story of the unlikely romance between a deluded community theatre actress and the overeducated vocal coach she hires to make her a star. Directed by Bart Delorenzo.
The Odyssey Theatre's world premiere production of Justin Tanner's 'DAY DRINKERS', scheduled to close Sunday, October 9, 2011 has been extended three weeks through Sunday, October 30
Witnessing a Justin Tanner play is kind of like watching a soap opera; at one moment you cannot believe what you are hearing and seeing and in the next you'll exclaim, 'I know them!' Whereas Del Shores gives us Southern white trash, Tanner keeps his trash more local; both playwrights have something else in common: a terrific stock company of actors who brilliantly deliver the goods. Tanner's latest play Day Drinkers, now on stage at the Odyssey, is another hysterically zany slice-of-life dramedy that makes us sit up and think about our actions.
