107 Generations Dr.
Beyond Therapy, Christopher Durang's most produced play, is a farcical comedy that focuses on Prudence and Bruce, two Manhattanites who are seeking stable romantic relationships with the help of their psychiatrists. Bruce is a highly emotional bisexual who tends to cry easily, a trait homophobic Prudence sees as a weakness. Their respective therapists - libidinous Stuart, who constantly seduces his patient, and eccentric Charlotte, refers to the play Equus as a good source of advice. When Bruce finally brings up his live in male lover, Bob, Complications ensue. Acorn Theater's production, Directed by Michael Fernandez and Starring Chicago based actors John Bonner and Katie Dufresne, will be an in depth look at these hilariously complicated character's and their oddly romantic connections. This play asks the question "Do you allow for contradictions within yourself”? September 19, 2010International Friendship Gardens Lyric in the Gardens (Outside of Harbor Country)
