THE HOUSE
OF YES

Theatre On Consignment will begin its 2005-2006 regular season with “The House of Yes”, the acclaimed comedy by Wendy MacLeod. The play will run November 10, 11, 12, 18, and 19 at 8pm and November 20 at 2pm.

In the play, it's Thanksgiving and Marty's arrival home is greatly anticipated by his mother, Mrs. Pascal (Renee Purtee), his twin sister, Jackie-O (Meridith Jones), and his younger brother, Anthony (Lonny Quattlebaum). Marty (Brad Purkey) arrives during a hurricane, but worse than the storm is the fact that Marty brings Lesly (Anissa Brazill), his new fiancée. On top of that, Jackie-O has just recently been released from a mental hospital, Anthony dropped out of Princeton, and their alcoholic mother has a serious problem handling any of their problems. This darkly funny black comedy is an uproariously witty and slightly disturbing commentary on American iconography, celebrity worship, and the family dynamic.

Amber Malott directs, with set design by Mike Jacobs, lighting design by Ben C. Roose, sound design by Jason Bailey, costume design by Brenda Welch, and props by Rebekah Rine.

Performances are at Theatre On Consignment’s new venue, Club Tabu, located at 305 S. St. Francis. Ticket prices are $10 for general public and $7 for seniors, students, and military. For reservations, call (316) 522-4442. The play contains some adult language and themes and is intended for mature audiences.
