This will be the first time anyone in Buffalo has found the guts to perform one of Mac Wellman's plays. Blunt, in-your-face, over-the-top, hilariously bizarre, and always quick to mock American bigotry, Wellman writes with a totally unique voice that needs to be heard!!! Our rendition of SINCERITY FOREVER will be no less wild than the play itself. Performed in an actual rusty old 1970s convertible on loan from a Medina junkyard, this production is loaded with weird-ass costumes, crazy props, and a healthy dose of redneck-mocking music. Directed by Subversive Theatre's Founder & Artistic Director Kurt Schneiderman, this SINCERITY FOREVER enlists the acting talents of Peter Jaskowiak, Katie White, Betsy Bittar, Sarah Orloff, Julie Oesch, Jamie Todd Hamilton, Brian Zybala, Rich Kraemer, and Faith Wardlaw with Costume Design by Stephanie Smith and music compiled by Matthew LaChiusa. ![]() So don't miss your chance to see this incredible in-your-face theatrical extravaganza. We can pretty much guarantee you won't find anything else like it! Bear in mind, this is an outdoor event so all performances are weather permitting. |
