Only two more chances to see the hilarious comedy, Death Defying Acts!
by Nicole Romo 19 Sep '19

19 Sep '19

"The world is full of deliciously overwrought basket cases" Dunamis Theatre brings a night of mischievous fun with the dark comedy, Death Defying Acts written by David Mamet, Wood Allen, and Elaine May. These effervescent one-act comedies embody the playwright's distinctive voices uniting a theme of late-20th-century urban desperation that prompts everything from benign smiles to belly laughs. Under the direction of guest director Chris Bizub this night of theatre is not to be missed. Who needs Broadway when we have off-off Broadway in ....Akron! Shows are Sept 20.and 21 at 8pm at The Center. Where else can you find three different one act plays in one night?! DATE: September 20 and 21 TIME: Performances are at 8pm PLACE: The Center 118 W.Market St. Akron, Ohio 44308 PRICE: Only $15 at the door and online at dunamistheatreboxoffice. ticketleap.com/death-defying-acts/ CAST: Director: Chris Bizub Dr.Rusell/Carol; Amy Balsinger Attorney/Ken/Sam: Dylan Gregory Attendant/Marty/Howard: Casey McCann Dorothy/Phyllis: Mia Radabaugh Delivery Girl/Juliet: Rebecca Semancik ABOUT THE SHOW: This long-running Off Broadway hit features the work of three gifted playwrights. David Mamet's An Interview is an oblique, mystifying interrogation. A sleazy lawyer is forced to answer difficult questions and to admit the truth about his life and career. The why and where of the interrogation provide a surprise ending to this brilliant twenty minute comedy. In Hotline by Elaine May, a neurotic woman with enough urban angst to fill a neighborhood calls a suicide crisis hotline late one night. The counselor who gets the call is overwhelmed - it is his first night on the job. This dark and desperate, wildly funny forty minute piece ends Act 1. A well to do psychiatrist has just discovered that her best friend is having an affair with her husband in Woody Allen's wildly comic second act, Central Park West. She has invited the friend over for a confrontation after getting thoroughly soused. Meanwhile, the husband is about to run off with a college student. Central Park West provides an hour of constant hilarity. -- *Nici Romo* Managing Artistic Director Dunamis Theatre -- *Nici Romo* Managing Artistic Director Dunamis Theatre
