Tacoma Little Theatre’S ‘OFF THE SHELF’ presents

FUDDY MEERS

Tacoma, WA- Tacoma Little Theatre's Off the Shelf program is excited to
present David Lindsay-Abaire’s crazy comedy, *Fuddy Meers, *directed by
Suzy Willhoft and featuring some of the Pacific Northwest’s finest actors.
This production will play Wednesday, October 30, 2019 at 7:30pm.

Claire has a rare form of psychogenic amnesia that erases her memory
whenever she goes to sleep. This morning, like all mornings, she wakes up a
blank slate. Her chipper husband comes in with a cup of coffee, explains
her condition, hands her a book filled with all sorts of essential
information, and he disappears into the shower. A limping, lisping,
half-blind, half-deaf man in a ski mask, pops out from under her bed and
claims to be her brother, there to save her. Claire's info book is quickly
discarded, and she's hustled off to the country-house of her mother, a
recent stroke victim whose speech has been reduced to utter gibberish.
Claire's journey gets even more complicated when a dimwitted thug with a
foul-mouthed hand puppet pops up at a window, and her driven husband and
perpetually stoned son show up with a claustrophobic lady-cop that they've
kidnapped. Every twist and turn in this funhouse plot bring Claire closer
to revealing her past life and everything she thought she'd forgotten. It's
one harrowing and hilarious turn after another on this roller coaster ride
through the day of an amnesiac trying to decipher her fractured life. This
poignant and brutal comedy traces one woman's attempt to regain her memory
while surrounded by a curio-cabinet of alarmingly bizarre characters.

Fuddy Meers features the talents of: Claire Garcia, Annette Hockman,
Ashley MacPhail, Luke Amundson, Mark Peterson, Chris Serface, and Charlie
Stevens.

Tickets for the October 30, 2019 performance at 7:30pm are $10.00 for non
TLT Members, and FREE for those who are members. Tickets may be purchased
online at www.tacomalittletheatre.com, or by calling our Box Office at
(253) 272-2281.

TLT's OFF THE SHELF

We know that there is a tremendous amount of wonderful theatre that
deserves to be heard but sometimes just doesn’t get an opportunity. With
“Off the Shelf”, local directors and actors will be bringing some scripts
to life that we hope you will find entertaining, challenging and
educational to our stage. We hope that you’ll sit back and enjoy an evening
of theatre. You never know, you might see one of these shows on our
mainstage in the future.
