BUG
by TRACY LETTS
directed by MAURICE LORD

“A gloriously lurid noir thriller! Gets under your skin and stays there!”
--Time Out NY


BUG is a wild psychological comedic thriller that takes place in a seedy motel room on the outskirts of Oklahoma City that centers on a chance meeting between a divorced waitress hiding from her abusive ex- con, ex-husband and a soft-spoken Gulf War drifter. As their relationship develops, so does a hidden bug infestation problem that may or may not be real.

Pulitzer Prize winner Tracy Letts is one of America's most exciting playwrights, his smash hit, August: Osage County, is currently taking Broadway by storm, winning the 2008 Pulitzer Prize, five Tony awards including best play, and numerous other awards. He was named a finalist for the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and was named as one of Time Magazine’s  "Best of 2003." The New York Times described BUG as "a tsunami of lunatic paranoia BUG is packed with lots of fun and lots of surprises and guaranteed to be madly entertaining."

Featuring: David M. Brainard, Henry Brown, Laura Criswell, Leslie Gangl Howe and Joe Jordan.
