NOT A SIXPIX EVENT
You've seen his shows at Theatre Alliance -- from SORDID LIVES to DADDY'S DYING WHO'S GOT THE WILL to SOUTHERN BAPTISTS SISSIES to last year's CHEATIN. Now come see the man himself - Del Shores!
Sordid Lives creator Del Shores new one-man show directed by Emerson Collins proves once again that he is not a writer, hes a self-proclaimed thief!
In Six Characters In Search Of A Play, Shores is inspired by Pirandellos classic play to bring you six characters inspired by his real-life encounters that havent quite made it into one of Shores plays, films or TV shows.
In 90 minutes, the audience will hear the truth behind how he collected these eccentrics, then he will portray them in classic Shores monologue style. The audience will walk away knowing Yvonne, the vegetarian-hating Texas waitress; Sarah, an elderly actress who is determined to drink and smoke herself to death if Trump is elected; Jimmy Ray, the evolving Georgia redneck, Loraine; the once brilliant drama teacher who has lost her damn mind and is now obsessed with porn; Aunt Bobbie Sue the loud-mouth racist Republican with a heart of gold; and Marsha, the monkey-hating lesbian with CPOD.
"Six Characters in Search of a Play, is a solo work, a showpiece for a single actor to embody six major (and a dozen minor) different characters in 80 furious, touching and hilarious minutes." ~ Arnold Wayne Jones, Dallas Voice
"We, in the audience, are up close to the man as he transforms into each new character. Most of the stories are hilarious, eliciting "AMENS" and laughter from us. One of the stories is on the somber side but all of them are chock-full of feeling." ~ John Strange, Selig Film News
