Stray Cat Theatre has announced the following upcoming events.

punkplay
by Gregory S. Moss
September 14 – 29, 2012
Directed by Michael Peck

Dreams are free motherf***er!
It's 1985. Reagan's in office. Greed rules Wall Street. Coke decides it’s a good idea to release “New” Coke. In a suburban bedroom, Mickey, a thirteen-year-old suburban misfit, is befriended by an angry runaway named Duck. Both are about ready to explode out of their adolescence when they discover…punk rock. Its righteous fury becomes a foundation for the boys to reinvent themselves and create a self-defining belief system that revolutionizes their universe. But as reality threatens to crash in on them, their fabricated world of amped-up music and shocking band names becomes just as oppressive as the society they're desperate to reject. punkplay is a wild, comical mix-tape tribute to the excesses and energy of adolescence.

Wolves
by Steve Yockey
November 30 – December 16, 2012
Directed by Ron May

A WORLD PREMIERE!
Yep…thanks in part to support from the National New Play Network, you can say you saw it here first. From the writer of the crazy-trippy-cool OCTOPUS a few seasons back comes the rolling world premiere of a fully staged production of a script you may have caught when Stray Cat did a reading a few seasons back. Ben and Jack are two young men with their own very special way of surviving the perils of modern life. But when their shared psychosis fills up their very small apartment in the very big city and spills out onto the unsuspecting streets, things get messy. Very...messy. A darkly comic predatory fairy tale for adults, WOLVES fuses the worlds of fable and horror into a story about unrequited love, the virtues of lava lamps and the hazards of a handy axe.

Sons of the Prophet
by Stephen Karam
February 15 – March 2, 2013
Directed by Ron May

Their tragedy. Your comedy.
A 2012 Pulitzer Prize Finalist and hailed as one of the Top 10 Plays of 2011 from The New York Times, New York Magazine, and Newsday. Brothers Joseph and Charles Douaihy are young, gay, and having a hell of a year. Their father has died and their uncle is losing it — putting the brothers' once unbreakable sense of humor to the test. As if that's not enough, Joseph is battling a mysterious ailment, and his eccentric boss is pressuring him to write a memoir about his Maronite Catholic family's tenuous connection to Kahlil Gibran, author of The Prophet. Things get even more intense when an ambitious and sexy reporter descends on the family in search of a story. Stephen Karam, author of the Stray Cat hits SPEECH AND DEBATE and columbinus pens a brutally funny comedy about family, culture and how where we come from plays a part in how we cope with wounds that just won’t heal.

Chicks with Dicks
by Trista Baldwin
April 19 – May 11, 2013
Directed by Ron May

Bad girls on bikes doing bad things.
It’s time. The cult hit that was the first show head kitty Ron May was ever involved with out here (playing Joe aka DogBoy)…is coming back. With a vengeance! An homage to films like FASTER PUSSYCAT, KILL! KILL!, CHICKS WITH DICKS chronicles the misadventures of Vespa D'Amour, a prom queen runner-up that takes control of the all-girl biker gang Satan's Cherries after the accidental death of her sex-shy boyfriend. Don’t miss your chance to join hot mamas Dixie, Varla, Chantalle, Kitten, Dirty Di and Vespa DeAmore as they ride some sweet choppers and smack each other around! “Fightin'! Punchin'! Face-kickin'! Throat-stabbin'! Ass-whuppin'! Mud-wrasslin'! Trista Baldwin's girl-gang, great-American-highway biker epic is like an estrogen-packed, skull-splitting mosh-pit on steroids! CHICKS is exploitation at its funnest and exploitationest!” – Pittsburgh City Paper
