Die Fascist Capitalist Pigs!  Die!
Meet the terrorist housewife next door...

September 9 at 3p.m.
September 10 at 4p.m.

A reading of a new play

Tickets: FREE (space is limited so advanced reservation is suggested)

Angela Baxter was just another suburban housewife performing in the community theater, when an FBI agent exposed her true identity as an ex-seventies terrorist.  Now, Angela has been sentenced to twenty years in prison for crimes she committed thirty-years-ago. Although Angela is trying to focus on bidding adieu to her "perfect" son (a secret Adderall and orgie addict), others seem hell bent on spoiling her final hours of freedom.  There's the FBI agent, who'd sell his soul to pulverize Angela, and Angela's daughter in-law, the leader of a fringe anti-vaccination organization, whose hobby is hating her mother-in-law.  But Angela's fate could change for the better with the help of a wanna-be revolutionary, who's full throttle committed to her liberation.

This is a dark and funny play about extremism gone horribly wrong and, of course, a tale about family.
