The Off-Broadstreet Theatre will open Bruce Graham’s tense romantic comedy/drama “Desperate Affection,” on June 1. With performances running through the month of June, the play examines just how much we will overlook in the name of love.
Maddie, a frustrated actress who finds herself selling cleaning products in commercials instead of being a leading lady on stage, thinks she might have finally met the perfect man. Handsome, successful and a good listener, he has just one flaw – he is a professional assassin.
The normally detached Richard has done the unthinkable – he has fallen for the girl who will become a witness to his crime. Will romance and passion be able to win over her intuitive reasoning and his professionalism as a hit man?
Performances run June 1 through June 30. Friday and Saturday evenings, doors open at 7 p.m. for dessert with an 8 p.m. show.
Sunday matinees feature 1:30 p.m. dessert with a 2:30 p.m. show.
Admission for Friday and Sunday is $29.50, Saturday is $31.50, and there is a senior rate of $27.50 for Sundays only. Group rates are also available.
All prices include dessert, a show and sales tax.
