BroadwayWorld chats with composer Min Kahng about his cheeky new show, 'Happy Pleasant Valley: A Senior Sex Scandal Murder Mystery Musical' enjoying its world premiere at TheatreWorks Silicon Valley March 5-30 in Palo Alto.

Dear Readers, I’m all for a show poking fun at darker, heavier topics. Hell, there’s a comedy on Broadway right now centered around the night President Lincoln was shot. But if you have something funny or poignant to say, make sure it’s not the same bit for two and a half hours such as was the case with the Seattle Rep’s current production of Thornton Wilder’s “The Skin of Our Teeth”.

Seattle Rep will present THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH by Thornton Wilder, featuring a rotating cast of over 30 professional actors and community members. Learn how to purchase tickets.
