ALTERNATIVE THEATRE COMPANY presents BEYOND THERAPY
Alternative Theatre Company will kick off its 2008-2009 season with BEYOND THERAPY, a hilariously off-kilter comedy by Christopher Durang. Directed by award-winning playwright, actor and director Joe Marshall.
There will be an opening night silent auction Friday, May 23, at 7:00 PM.
BEYOND THERAPY addresses the thin line between being gay, straight and bisexual. Set in Manhattan during the early 1980s, two singles seek love and find sanity (sort of) as they navigate the neuroses of their not-so-stable psychoanalysts. Prudence's macho therapist swears a lot and calls her nasty names; Bruce's wacky female shrink recommends barking as a form of self-expression. Prudence is urged to be more assertive, while Bruce is encouraged to meet women by placing a personal ad. His therapist does not fully comprehend that Bruce has a male lover who is not pleased by Bruce's desire to date a woman, so when Bruce's personal ad brings him and Prudence together, the hapless couple must come to their senses and overcome their zany therapists' "help" to find romance in a whacked-out world. They ultimately learn to live beyond therapy in this delightful Off Broadway hit that moved successfully to Broadway.
