If you’re in the market for a thought-provoking new play that’s as effortlessly entertaining as formally innovative, then you’d be much remiss to skip Miami company LakeHouseRanchPNG’s premiere of playwright Robert Kerr’s Have You Seen Boomer. This crisp and compelling piece follows the evolution and devolution of the romantic relationship between its only two characters, a woman named Jess and a man named Mark. As is immediately apparent thanks in part to sparse but effective set design from Indy Sulliero, we meet the two as they are moving in together, on day 1 of their new lives in a new apartment.
What better way to top off a blockbuster 12th season than for Island City Stage(ICS) to gift us with Charles Busch’s notoriously famous and hilarious camp comedy DIE, MOMMIE,DIE! Playing now through September 22. The fabulously productive drag icon, and award-winning actor/director/novelist and cabaret performer, first played the leading role in his own killer melodrama comedy that skewers “Grande Dame Guignol” horror films of the 1960s (featuring aging stars like Bette Davis, Joan Crawford and Lana Turner) and Hollywood in general. Busch’s stage production proved so popular, it too was made into a film, with Busch starring and winning a Best Performance Award at the Sundance Film Festival.
