Alamo Colleges District - Northeast Lakeview College will be presenting a play featuring the serio-comedy with a farcical flair Woman Hollering Creek written and directed by Rita Anderson, member of the Dramatists Guild, International Center for Women Playwrights.
SYNOPSIS:
DRESSY BBQ FISH TACOS is a restaurant, dress, and bait-and-tackle shop--that also offers fishing and hunting tours, as well as massages. Located on Main Street in the fictional town of Dark Cloud, Texas, it does a booming business since the ghost town hopes to get into the Book of World Records for their Largest Ball of Dental Floss. The shop is like an old-fashioned General Store on steroids. It prides itself in finding you what you need and they dabble in just about everything. But when a “stranger” comes to town and promises to make them all rich, we see that Dark Cloud is your average “quaint little town” --except that no one seems to be who they claim to be and everyone has a secret.
About the Artist:
RITA ANDERSON is a member of the Dramatists Guild, International Center for Women Playwrights, the Writers League of Texas, and ScriptWorks. She has an MFA Creative Writing and an MA Playwriting. Rita won the Ken Ludwig Award from The Kennedy Center for “best body of work,” and she’s received other awards including two FronteraFest commissions. Her plays are widely-produced with almost 50 productions (with four each in NYC, Dallas, Boston, San Antonio, and Austin) in almost as many states, and in London, England, and Paris, France. Rita went to The O’Neill and she had a Playwriting Residency with Creede Repertory Theatre. Her play, Early Liberty, is a best-seller at www.offthewallplays.com, but the highlight of her emerging playwright’s career so far was sitting on a playwriting panel with Christopher Durang.
