MR. MARMALADE
by Noah Haidle
directed by Arthur Grothe

April 4 – May 3

Cross the threshold into a child’s world of fantasy.

Lucy is a four-year old girl with a very active imagination.  Unfortunately her imaginary best friend, Mr. Marmalade, doesn’t have much time for her.  What with his high pressure corporate job, he can barely pencil her in for a play date anymore.  And he’s so stressed and angry these days.  Then there’s his drug problem.  But the inventive Lucy is determined to make Mr. M play house, even if it causes unexpected bizarre results and unleashes hilarious mayhem among her strange collection of both real and imagined family and friends.

Company member Arthur Grothe, director of last year’s hit production of Act a Lady, returns to the helm for Noah Haidle’s alternately hilarious and heartbreaking satiric fantasy,  Mr. Marmalade,  a wild romp of a  savage dark comedy about what it takes to grow up in these difficult times.
