It’s the end of the “Ch-Ch-Changes” season for Ghost Light Theatricals and they’re spinning theater into reality for their final show.
The season is ending with the comedy The Clouds, A Reality Play, a “comedic look at upper class society and our unwillingness to take responsibility for our extravagant lifestyles,” the press release states.
Thanks to the boom in reality TV we have witnessed the outrageous, extravagant and dramatic lives of housewives from Malibu to Massachusetts. In the new comedy, THE CLOUDS, A REALITY PLAY, aging reality star Stephanie Stophanes is deep in debt, in the midst of a messy divorce, and facing cancellation. Stephanie seeks the help of the screwball Socrates and his School for Life Skills in hopes of once again being relevant. With backstabbing agents, rude crew members, and TV show parodies, THE CLOUDS, A REALITY PLAY shines a hilarious light on the underbelly of reality TV shows, and the “stars” that make them.
The curtain goes up at 7:30 p.m. on April 15th, 16th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 28th, 29th and 30th and at 2 p.m. on May 1. Tickets are $15 regular admission, $12 for students and seniors. You can purchase them online or at the door. The Clouds, A Reality Play is being performed at the Ballard Underground (2220 NW Market).
I went opening night and wish I am already looking forward to next week’s episode of Blonde Bitch. Go see it!
