GORGEOUS
in co-production with Rivendell Theatre Ensemble
by Keiko Green
directed by Kirsten Fitzgerald
May 1 – June 7
Run Time: Estimated 90 minutes with no intermission
Jenny has a simple life; she takes care of the elderly and shows dogs professionally. When her just-a-little-bit-older boyfriend Bill dies suddenly, all Jenny wants is to get rid of his stuff and continue to show his champion Bulldog, GORGEOUS. Enter Bernie, a tornado of a woman. Amid the boxes of things that made up Bill’s life, Jenny and Bernie must find a way forward for themselves and the dog.
