I’ll Eat You Last Opens in 35below: You’re
invited to the Beverly Hills home of the first female ‘superagent’ Sue Mengers.
It’s 1981 and the New Hollywood has begun to emerge. The phone’s not ringing so
much these days and Barbra Streisand fired her just yesterday. Sue drinks,
digs, and dishes the dirt on her famous clients, but on this evening, Sue is
forced to face the inevitable truth: shattering the show biz glass ceiling
might just get you cut in the process. Starring local comedy legend Betsy
Puckett in this one woman tour-de-force that brought Bette Midler back to
Broadway. Warning: This play contains profanity, alcohol consumption, drug use,
and gossip. Directed by Waylon Wood. I’ll Eat You Last runs May 6-22, 2016 with performances Friday and Saturday nights

The Autumn Players’
Readers Theatre Showcase Series Presents Good
People: Welcome to Southie, a Boston neighborhood where a
night on the town means a few rounds of bingo, where this month’s paycheck
covers last month’s bills, and where Margie Walsh has just been let go from yet
another job. Facing eviction and scrambling to catch a break, Margie thinks an
old fling who’s made it out of Southie might be her ticket to a fresh new
start. With his signature humorous glow, playwright David Lindsay-Abaire
explores the struggles, shifting loyalties and unshakeable hopes that come with
having next to nothing in America. Performances are Friday, May 27 and
Saturday, May 28, 2016 in 35below at Asheville Community Theatre and Sunday, May
29, 2016 at the Reuter Center on the campus of UNCA. All performances
begin at 2:30 pm. Tickets are $6.00 (includes NC Sales Tax) and are available
online at www.ashevilletheatre.org, by phone at 828-254-1320 or in person at
