San Pedro Actors Troupe (SPATs) opens its 38th year of community theater with a production of The Tribute Artist, by Charles Busch.
The play is about an out-of-work female impersonator who, when his elderly landlady dies in her sleep, takes on her identity in order to keep her valuable Greenwich Village townhouse. This “perfect” scheme goes awry and leads to a wild path of twists and reversals plotted by an eccentric rogues gallery of outrageous schemers.
This ribald adult comedy is a cross-dressing, gender-bending, sexually suggestive farce. Minors unaccompanied by an adult will not be admitted.
The Tribute Artist opens at the SPATs Theater, 730 American Avenue, Oracle, on Friday, March 24 and runs weekends through April 9. Curtain for Friday and Saturday evenings is at 7:00 PM, and 2:00 PM for Sunday matinees. Tickets are $15 per person, and a $1 refund at the door with a canned food donation for the Tri-Community Food Bank.
Additional information and tickets can be obtained by calling the SPATs box office at 520-896-9496.
