Zoo Story in Lake Charles for One More Performance

Two men are on a bench and one starts tickling the other. The one being tickled can't control his laughter and states that the parakeets are making dinnner and the cats are setting the table. While this is extremely funny, it is only part of Edward Albee's Zoo Story.

Jonathon Richards and William Lormand as Jerry and Peter give an excellent performance. You can tell that both of them are extremely talented and easily show the emotions that go with the play's dialogue. The play is intense and you easily feel the unease that is given by Jonathon while playing Jerry.

The play is set in a park, so a bench in an empty space in a coffee shop works perfectly for this play. There are a row of lights that work for the daylight sun and then the end of the play when the lights go down. The settign is also extremely intimate. While little work was needed for the set, you can tell the work that the actors put into knowing their lines and providing the emotion needed.

Doors open at 6pm and tickets are $10 general admission or $7 with the purchase of food or a beverage (although no iced beverages will be sold) provided by Stellar Beans. Come support local theatre.
