Rising Action Theatre opens its new Season at its new location at the Sunshine Cathedral campus with Fit To Be Tied by Nicky Silver, an off-beat comedy about a fabulously wealthy but desperately lonely man who lives a solitary life for many years. When he meets the great love of his life, Boyd, a young runaway with no family who is working as an angel at Radio City's Christmas Spectacular, Arloc invites him up for a drink. When Boyd readies to leave, Arloc is terrified that his last chance for happiness will slip away, so he ties him up. At that moment, Arloc's mother, Nessa, descends upon him with problems of her own.

The Village Voice called Fit To Be Tied "amoral, freethinking and blunt... The world's to laugh at and the script makes you do a lot of laughing...(Fit to be Tied) has no shame about honoring family values."

Director David Goldyn says, "it is an absurdly good humored, but biting play about being stuck in life while trying to invent your own happiness and invent your own family in a world where one is inevitably alone."

Featured in the cast are Rising Action Theatre favorites Kitt Marsh (Flora the Red Menace, Sordid Lives,) Tom Falborn (Flora the Red Menace,) Larry Fields (The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told, Sisters Rosensweig, Say You Love Satan,) and Brandon St. John (11 0' Clock Number, Last Hairdresser, Say You Love Satan.)

The play is directed by Artistic Director David Goldyn who has directed Take Me Out, Some Men, and The Sister's Rosensweig for Rising Action Theatre.

Ethel Merman is the Patron Saint of Rising Action Theatre. When David Goldyn and Stage manager Shonna Rash approached Reverend Durell Watkins of the Sunshine Cathedral about the possibility of moving the theatre to the cathedral, high on the wall above Durell Watkin's Desk was a picture of someone great. Guess who it was?

No - it wasn't Jesus!
The picture in the office was of Ethel Merman.
