Stone Cold Dead Serious!

I usually stick to covering comedy events, but there is something about a play that embodies themes that I connect to that reels me in! Maybe it’s the fact that I am drawn to messy, dysfunctional family drama, or (Artistic Director/Founder) Stuart Fink saying, “What draws me to work on Stone Cold Dead Serious is how the characters are all committed to the pursuit of happiness. It ends with Shaylee, the sister, saying that she wants her family to be “happy” and not just “not-sad”. So many people of my generation are content to float through their twenties,  thinking that as long as they’re getting by they’re doing fine.”

I suppose for a long time I was like Shaylee, longing for the happiness of all of the members of my large, complicated family, pouring those emotions into journalling and poetry to salvage my joy and sanity. I’m looking forward to checking out this show, and riding the roller-coaster of this play written by Adam Rapp!

inFurnace Theatre is brand spankin’ new on the scene and this is their first full production.
