Running With Scissors’ cast of cut-ups return to their juvenile and delinquent roots for a very special staged reading of John Waters’ cult classic FEMALE TROUBLE. Seating is limited for this event—the company’s annual fundraiser—so make your reservations early!
The trouble in FEMALE TROUBLE begins on a peaceful Christmas morning in Baltimore, Maryland, when rebellious teen Dawn Davenport doesn’t get the cha-cha heels she’d asked for. (Because nice girls don’t wear cha-cha heels!) This seemingly minor incident sends Dawn into a tizzy, and sets her and her friends Chicklette and Concetta on a lifelong path of crime. You’ll watch in wonder as Dawn becomes a single mother and raises the worst (and ugliest) 14-year-old girl in the world! You’ll luxuriate with Dawn as she becomes a high-fashion supermodel under the tutelage of snooty salon owners Donald and Donna Dasher. You’ll be riveted as Dawn goes toe-to-toe with her neighborhood nemesis, Aunt Ida. And you’ll surely shed a tear when Dawn’s antics finally send her up the river and into the electric chair. (Or maybe you’ll cheer. Who’s to say?) Don’t miss Brad Caldwell, Wesley Callaway, Leon Contavesprie, Marcy Hesseling, Dave Hotstream, Jack Long, Elizabeth Pearce, Dorian Rush, and Brian Peterson as Dawn Davenport in this hilarious, unforgettable, one-night-only extravaganza!
