HAPPY BIRTHDAY WANDA JUNE Runs Sept. 26-Oct. 5

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WANDA JUNE
One Off Productions
Sept. 26-Oct. 5
Gabriel’s Corner [Over-the-Rhine]

Cast: Rory Sheridan as Harold Ryan, Tess Talbot as Penelope Ryan/Mildred, Brian Willis as Looseleaf Harper, Jared Earland as Herb Shuttle/Von Konigswald, David Derringer as Dr. Norbert Woodly, Lucas Busemeyer as Paul Ryan & Ashlynn Hezlep as Wanda June

In his first published play, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. finds a powerful vehicle for his tragicomical imagination. When the great, presumed-dead, adventure-hunter Harold Ryan unexpectedly returns after eight years—on his birthday!—his wife is aghast and his son is enchanted. Vonnegut bakes up a birthday cake of phony heroes and male swagger, frosted with farce in “a simple-minded play about men who enjoy killing—and those who don’t.”
