Outcry Youth Theatre presents The Real & Imagined History of the Elephant Man by Tom Wright Arriving from his East Midlands beginnings into a London thick with the grime of industrialization, Joseph Merrick is an anomaly. In a city of factories that churn out uniformity, there is no place for someone like him. But Merrick and the city are evolving into something new. We follow him through the workhouse, the freak show and the hospital, as he searches for acceptance in a society that just wants to stare at him. Powerful, angry and surprising, Tom Wright's acclaimed play imagines an alternative history of the person who came to be known as “the Elephant Man.” It restores Joseph Merrick to the centre of his own story: a man fighting for his right to be and to belong. In addition to Merrick, it also features an incredible cast of mostly female characters in Joseph’s life – including a Ringmaster, a famous actress, and a dying woman, amongst many others.

Cox Playhouse · Plano · 18 mi

From $25All agesSeasonal

Ruthie and Bill's grown children - a priest, an aspiring actress, and a former football star - all return home for Thanksgiving in 1980, where we learn of their plans and dreams as they embark on their adult lives. The empty-nester parents contend with their own changes, too, as old family rituals are trotted out and ancient tensions flare up. As time passes, this typical American family discovers that, despite what we may have in mind, we often arrive at unexpected destinations. As Woody Allen once said, "If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans..." (DRAMEDY)
