SORDID LIVES BY DEL SHORES NOW AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM THRU APRIL 20.
OPENING WEEKEND IS ALREADY SOLD OUT.  MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS SOON.

Hilarious, campy chaos erupts in Winters, Texas in arranging the funeral
of Peggy Ingram, a good Christian woman, who hit her head on a motel sink
after tripping over the detached wooden legs of her married lover.  Some
family members are afraid that all the family skeletons will come flying
out of the closet as they gather to mourn the family’s matriarch. 
Meanwhile, grandson Ty, much to the chagrin of Latrelle, his up-tight
mother, is coming out of the closet in a different way.  (Will he turn out
like his uncle “Brother Boy,” a gay transvestite who is in a mental
institution, entertaining fellow patients with his impersonation of Tammy
Wynette while undergoing "dehomosexualization” therapy?) Then there’s the
gun-slinging revenge rampage of the peg-legged lothario’s wronged wife
Noleta – along with LaVonda, another of deceased’s daughters.  Throw in a
remorseful bartender, his dim brother, town drunk Juanita, and a few other
townsfolk, and you’ve got one hilariously clever, campy and often raunchy
tale.
