The Clean House Opens March 12
The Clean House: A Delicate Play For Rough Times, by Sarah Ruhl.
This warm-hearted intellectual comedy revolves around Lane, a doctor who can't stand to clean her own house but wants to make her tidy, logical life entirely spotless. Her Brazilian housekeeper would rather be a comedienne, and Lane's sister is a mousy homebody who is obsessed with cleanliness and orderliness. Lane's world gets even messier when her husband leaves her for an older, life-embracing woman.
The Clean House opens March 12, 2010; directed by Wade Hicks.
An Opening Night Gala will follow the March 12 performance, with the audience invited to enjoy free refreshments with the cast in VLT’s Stage Left.
