Welcome back Script-reading enthusiasts!

Our next play could be described in multiple genres: there’s a little suburban angst and a lot of silliness in Stephen Dietz’s Rancho Mirage, and then … a slew of revelations. Three couples meet, as they usually do, for a dinner party in the exclusive gated community of the title. Truths emerge in odd expressions: evasions, half-truths, projections, well-intentioned criminal acts. Characters share and discover losses, and triumphs, and dreams, and fears, and hopes. The play explores the mid-life crises of middle-aged, middle class folks, who struggle, as many of us do in this world, with children, money, responsibility, and remorse, and who wonder whether we can ever really change or evolve at all, and what would happen when we do. As the playwright notes, “it’s a comedy, until it’s not… funny, fierce, and honest,” and definitely “not a farce.”

Starring a blend of fresh and familiar faces (including the Artistic Director Laura Dickinson-Turner and Page-to-Stage’s own Scott Davis), and directed by the redoubtable James Kusy (who featured in Love’s Labor’s Lost and last directed The Shark is Broken), this play is sure to delight, especially those readers who love a fast-paced, character-driven romp. We’ll give you more to think about in the next installment.

We are so thrilled that Bookish has agreed to supply our scripts this year. The Rancho Mirage scripts are currently in stock!
