The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told

The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told

SEP 11 - OCT 3, 2009

By Paul Rudnick

Directed by Dewey Scott Wiley

A Trustus Theatre classic returns to the mainstage!  A stage manager, headset and prompt book at hand, brings the house lights to half, then dark, and cues the creation of the world. Throughout the play, she's in control of everything.  In other words, she's either God, or she thinks she is.  Act One recounts the major episodes of the Old Testament, only with a twist: Instead of Adam and Eve, our lead characters are Adam and Steve and Jane and Mabel, a lesbian couple with whom they decide to start civilization (procreation proves to be a provocative challenge).  Act Two jumps to modern day Manhattan.  Adam and Steve are together again.  It's Christmas Eve, and Jane is nine months pregnant even though she always thought of herself as the butch one.  The two women want to marry and want Adam and Steve to join them in the ceremony.  As you can imagine, with such a shocking beginning... the conclusion only gets more interesting as the show goes on!

Shows: Thursdays through Sundays only.
