Who Am I This Time? is an adaption of Kurt Vonnegut Jr.’s famous short story that has delighted audiences for five decades. The story centers on Harry Nash, a terminally shy hardware store owner who is cast as the notoriously impassioned Stanley Kowalski in the Mask and Wig Drama Society’s production of A Streetcar Named Desire. However Helen, the shy and lonely new girl in town, is cast as Stella and soon falls madly in love with Harry. Or is she really in love with Stanley?
Kurt Vonnegut Jr. is widely considered one of the most in influential American writers of the 20th Century. His novels and short stories blend satire, black comedy, and science fiction with pointed social commentary. His most noted novels include Slaughterhouse-Five, Cat’s Cradle and Breakfast of Champions. Who Am I This Time? has been adapted into a short film and a radio play for BBC.
James McLure’s Lone Star is a comedy about Roy, a Vietnam vet returning home from the war, and his brother Ray, who did not “defend his country”. Join the brothers in their hilarious late night, beer-fueled adventures behind their favorite bar where after enough booze even brothers tell the truth. Lone Star was an off-Broadway hit in the 1980’s that is finding itself all to relevant again with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
James McLure is an American playwright and screenwriter. His off-Broadway productions of Lone Star and Pvt. Wars set the standard for anti-war satire for decades and are still produced today.
