Book of Liz

Here's a little plug for the theatre department's upcoming production directed by one of my colleagues.

The Book of Liz
October 8-18, 2009
By David Sedaris and Amy Sedaris
Directed by Anthony Nelson
David Thayer Theatre

It's a simple recipe: Take one of the funniest satirists around, combine him with his equally funny sister and coax them to write a play. Add a dash of religion, a hint of "The Wizard of Oz". Shake and Bake. That's the essence of The Book of Liz, the story of Sister Elizabeth Donderstock whose cheeseballs are the pride and financial sustenance of her Amish-like community. Feeling underappreciated, Liz decides to set aside the work, the beards, the furniture and the cheeseballs and hit the road, her llama in tow. Irreverent and hilarious, the play pokes fun at the religiously conservative, AA, homosexuality, and the question of what a breakfast burrito really is.
