Ladies In Waiting

No Nude Men finishes off an amazing year with an evening of three one acts by local playwrighting superstars Alison Luterman and Claire Rice, and former Bay Area resident, Norwegian transplant Hilde Susan Jaegtnes.

Each of these three fantasies is a supernatural tale exploring the varied feminine archetypes that form the foundation of our society's gender stereotypes and biases. Luterman's piece, Night in Jail, depicts a midnight confrontation between a prison guard (Charles Lewis III), a drunk-driving debutante (Tonya Narvaez), and the ghost of Marie Antoinette (Kirsten Broadbear). Rice's Woman Come Down weaves the stories of Little Red Riding Hood (Kirsten Broadbear) and Rapunzal (Theresa Miller) into a contemplative comedy of manners as Red considers a marriage to the handsome but bland Henry (Leer Relleum) and avoids the machinations of a cross-dressing werewolf (Maro Guevara). Jaegtnes spins a farce about a haunted oil rigg where the manly staff (Nick Dickson, Brian Thomen, Aaron Tworek) are thrown into havoc by the manifestation of three needy virgins (Theresa Miller, Tonya Narvaez, Karen Offereins). Directed by Sara Judge, Stuart Bousel and Claire Rice, respectively, the evening is a satisfying taste of new work by each of these unique, cutting edge voices of the modern theater.
