Stray Cat Theatre Presents PUNKPLAY, 9/14
Stray Cat Theatre presents PUNKPLAY, by Gregory S. Moss, directed by Michael Peck, September 14 – 29, 2012. For tickets and more information, visit: straycattheatre.org.
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.
Decidedly off the beaten path, Stray Cat is indie theatre at its best: quirky, edgy and irreverent. Stray Cat Theatre scratches the Valley's itch for a visceral, provocative theatre experience for culture-savvy cats who crave something beyond the standard kitty chow.
