Black Stripe Theater presents: God of Carnage, January 22-25

A black comedy involving four parents, who meet to discuss the recent actions of their uncivilized children. But as the saying goes “The apple doesn't fall far from the tree” and their “discussion” soon turns chaotic, revealing the deep cracks just below the surface of the two marriages. A hilarious show written with wit, some bad language and plenty of surprises. ​ http://www.blackstripetheater.com Black Stripe Theater presents the award winning comedy: God of Carnage Written by Yasmina Reza Directed by Ed Gilmartin Featuring: Mark Chinnery Ian Martin  Julie Sweum Rachel Walzer DATES/TIMES: THURSDAY 1/22:  7:30pm FRIDAY 1/23: 7:30pm SATURDAY 1/24: 1:30pm SATURDAY 1/24 7:30pm (SORRY - SOLD OUT!)
