The Onyx to Continue 10th Anniversary Season with SORDID LIVES

The Onyx continues its Tenth Anniversary Season with Sordid Lives, a black comedy about white trash, written by Del Shores and directed by Producing Director Troy Heard.

"Since I've been heading the Onyx, this has been one of the most requested titles by our loyal audiences. When I found out it was the hit of the Onyx's very first season it just made sense to bring it back for the tenth!" says Heard.

When Peggy, a good Christian woman, hits her head on the sink and bleeds to death after tripping over her lover's wooden legs in a motel room, chaos erupts in Winters, Texas. Skeletons aren't the only things that fall out of the closet when her family gathers to plan her funeral. Will grandson Ty, the soap star, return home? And then there's the case of the Tammy Wynette-obsessed Brother Boy who's been locked up in the state asylum for the past twenty three years...

Sordid Lives premiered in Los Angeles where it ran for over a year, scoring fourteen Drama-Logue awards along the way. It was adapted as a film in 2000, starring Beau Bridges, Delta Burke, Olivia Newton-John and Leslie Jordan, who originated Brother Boy on stage. It became a cult sensation, spurring a television series on Logo, the LGBTQ cable network.

This production features Las Vegas favorites Valerie Carpenter Bernstein, Kim Glover, Glenn Heath, and Stephen R. Sisson as "Brother Boy."

Performances of GEEK! will be March 10 through 26, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm. with Sunday matinees on March 20 at 5 pm. Tickets are $20 for General Admission. Tickets may be purchased online at www.onyxtheatre.com or at the Box Office an hour before show time.
