Stray Cat Theatre Presents SPEECH AND DEBATE Through 12/19

By:

Stray Cat Theatre presents Speech and Debate, By Stephen Karam, Directed by Ron May. Sex, Lies and Podcasts with a George Michael soundtrack. Kinda-sorta like a pre-Glee Glee.

Even though they go to the same school, misfits Solomon, Diwata and Howie have never met...until a shocking sex scandal involving one of their teachers throws them together through an unexpected chain of events. When one of them sets out to expose the truth, their individual secrets become currency, the stakes skyrocket, and the trio's connection grows deeper in this fiercely funny dark comedy with music. Written by one of the co-writers of last season's columbinus, Speech & Debate is a wickedly funny new comedy that reminds us that sometimes you need to crank up the tunes, strip down to a nude body stocking, make like Martha Graham, embrace your inner weird and just let it all out!
