Description

In March of 2025, Rodney Hurst, director of holiday favorite Weber Family Christmas and who graced the Brüka stage in Kinky Boots, ThreePenny Opera and more now direct’s this dark comedy that was one of three finalists for the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for Drama; MISS WITHERSPOON written by the remarkable Christopher Durang. Durang, known for his works of outrageous and often absurd comedy, passed away in April of 2024. In the story of Miss Witherspoon, when life becomes just too frightful to endure, Veronica opts out for eternal peace. Instead, she finds herself in the Bardo (Tibetan Buddhist netherworld) with an overly cheery spirit guide who forces her to reincarnate in a dizzying array of roles, from trailer-park infant to fractious golden retriever. “Miss Witherspoon is a quirky black comedy about reincarnation, altering the course of world events…and Rex Harrison." - Playbill. Miss Witherspoon plays March 7 - 23, 2024.
