CELEBRATING TEN YEARS OF LIVE ART IN THE PIEDMONT TRIAD
2012 GSO Fringe Shows
DEAD(again!)
Dead actors! A Dead audience! A Dark Comedy about – DEATH!
Why write a play about death? Well there are only two things that are inevitable in life and writing a play about taxes just seemed fucking depressing! Only when everybody is dead can we finally talk about death. Hopefully you'll be able to talk about it too. Warning: This Comedy Might Kill You!
