Claudia Hoag McGarry presents
I Can Hear You, Damn It!

Written by Claudia Hoag McGarry
Directed by Jordana Lawrence

July 22 – 23, 2023

Audrey Kahn, a famous actress, is out walking with her daughter when she falls to the ground in what appears to be a cardiac arrest. She is rushed to the hospital and falls into a coma. Audrey’s daughter, Amy, and son, Robert, are erroneously told she is in a vegetative state without a lot of hope for improvement.

Unknown to them, there has been an error, and two charts have been confused; it is actually another coma patient there at the same time who DOES have a dire prognosis, not Audrey. In fact, Audrey can hear almost everything people say to her while they believe she cannot hear a word.

A whole array of characters visit the patient. They tell her secrets, confess things they did or did not do, proclaim their love, apologize… or, as in the case of her colorful nurse, audition for her incessantly. Dramas are aplenty in this funny and poignant story of a person learning the whole truth and nothing but.

We are continuing our mitigation efforts. The HVAC system for the theater is set to bring in 100% fresh air. We are using CDC-recommended MERV-13 filters, the air is turned over 7.35 times an hour, and we also have portable HEPA air purifiers and our generous use of hand sanitizer. (thank you to the Santa Barbara Foundation!) All of our staff are fully vaccinated, and performers are either vaccinated or tested negative before performing.

You can use either e-tickets, print-at-home tickets, or request Will Call tickets to be waiting for you at the Box Office. If you have any questions, please email Executive Director Teri Ball at info@centerstagetheater.org.

Thank you to everyone in the community who supported us through this prolonged intermission. We would not still be here without your support.
