The Book Of Liz: a play by The Talent Family

I don't do a whole lot of plays but this one is a must-see because it's written by the Sedaris siblings, David (lots of books and NPR readings) and Amy (the afterschool special parody, Strangers With Candy). There are a few performances coming up. I'd prefer this Saturday or next...please comment if you would like to come along, and we'll fix a date soon.

The following info was cut & paste from here & there:

This is a campy comedy about Elizabeth, who has a bad sweating problem and is living a very routine life making cheese balls. It is the cheese balls that are supporting the community financially. When Elizabeth leaves to see what life is like in the big city, her old community begins to crumble. The recipe she provided is not creating the balls which were so legendary and people back home thinks she has sabotaged them. In the end, it is discovered that there is a secret ingredient that only Elizabeth has.

May 3-6 & 9-13, 8 pm, Havana Theatre (1212 Commercial). Tix $20 at the door/$15 advance at Biz Books, Little Sister's Book Store, and online.
