Waltz on over to the Theater Department this weekend through next Saturday, March 14 and check out “Texarkana Waltz,” the semi-autobiographical play the Los Angeles Times calls “One of those rare works that manages to tickle the funny bone while plucking the heartstrings with quirky writing that sparkles with playful wit.” Um, we’re sold!

Directed by Debra Pralle, the Theater department presents Seattle playwright Louis Broome’s play that explores the horror of murder and the healing power of family and forgiveness in fresh, funny and stylistically creative ways.

From echoes of Hamlet, to Brechtian epic drama, and into a realistic exploration of a modern lesbian couple, “Texarkana Waltz” employs modern and classical sensibilities, colorful characters and the occasional singing cowboy to catapult us to the heartland of America as an Oklahoma clan struggles with the violent demons of its past.

Playing in the Shoreline Community College Campus Theater, performances are March 5, 6, 7, 12, 13 and 14 at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets are:
General admission, $10
