Man From Nebraska
Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning playwright
Tracy Letts creates the tale of a luxury sedan, a church
pew and visits to a nursing home that form the
comfortable round of Ken Carpenter’s daily life. And
then one night, he awakens to find that he no longer
believes in God. This crisis of faith propels an ordinary
middle-aged man into an extraordinary journey of
self-discovery. Directed by Francis Gercke, this funny
and spiritually complex play examines the effects of
one man’s awakening about himself and his family.
Adult language and themes.
Man From Nebraska Plays October 3 – November 1 at Cygnet
Theatre. For tickets and more information call 619.337.1525 or

Frozen
One evening 10-year-old Rhona goes missing. Her
mother, Nancy, retreats into a state of frozen hope.
Agnetha, an American academic, comes to England
to research a thesis: “Serial Killing—A Forgivable
Act?” Then there’s Ralph, a loner who’s looking
for some distraction. Drawn together by horrific
circumstances, these three embark on a harrowing,
strangely beautiful and cathartic journey. Angry, hu-
mane and compassionate, Frozen entwines the lives
of a murderer, the mother of one of his victims and his
psychologist, to explore our capacity for forgiveness,
remorse and change after an act that would seem to
rule them out entirely.
Frozen plays October 10 – October 31 at the Sushi Space. For
more information call 619.600.5020 or go to

The Savannah Disruption
Written by Evan Smith and Directed by Kim
Rubinstein this comedy’s tagline reads, “God works
in hilarious ways”. Zoom in on a good-natured
and sometimes susceptible Margaret and the no-
nonsense, spirited Mary. They are Catholics who
receive an unexpected visitor. We’ll leave the details
vague, but the visit causes Margaret’s faith to waver.
Mary hatches a plan to bring Margaret back into
the light by enlisting the aid of their unsuspecting
parish priest and throwing a truly devilish dinner
party. Played by a cast of four, The Old Globe show is a
“comedy you can believe in.”
The Savannah Disruption plays now through November 1 at The
Old Globe. For tickets call 619.234.623 or go to
oldglobe.org.
