CKP's acclaimed nostalgic farce "Pints Pounds & Pilgrims" aims more for the hysterical than the historical
Back for a return engagement, Crowded Kitchen Players' popular satire about the adventures of making theater, "Pints Pounds & Pilgrims," will be performed at The Charles A. Brown Ice House, June 2-18.
The play about putting on plays was inspired by a long-ago Theatre Outlet trip to the tiny island of Inishbofin off the west coast of Ireland.
Its a send-up of the 'whys and wherefores' of a subject well known by playwright Ara Barlieb. Having directed nearly 100 shows over the past 24 seasons -- many he also wrote “ he presents an intimate look at how theater is put together, a hysterical rather than historical record.
