the West Coast Premiere of
Scarcity
By Lucy Thurber
OVATION-RECOMMENDED!
"Powerful storytelling...a harrowing yet miraculously tender account of promise thwarted by poverty...Under Kappy Kilburn's direction, each person is so fully dimensional that we can always see goodness, no matter how twisted out of shape it has become......a crackling presentation by the
rambunctious young company known as needtheater..." -LA Times
"GO!...nicely acted...gets to the unspoken truths of a family ensnared by poverty...the story never lets go." -LA Weekly

From the LA Weekly Theater Award-winning team that produced FATBOY and MERCURY FUR, comes the West Coast Premiere of SCARCITY by Lucy Thurber... Billy, a brilliant teenager from an impoverished town in western Massachusetts, has a chance to escape his dysfunctional surroundings and attend the prestigious Deerfield Academy, with the aid of his teacher....who wants to seduce him. "Scarcity," states playwright Lucy Thurber, "is about the pull between the loyalty you feel for your family and the loyalty you feel toward your own personal dreams."
"needtheater is consistently savvy." -LA CityBeat
"[Lucy] Thurber belongs to a notable generation of young female playwrights."
- The New Yorker
