Cast of IMAGINING BRAD to Host Talk Backs to Support Denim Day 2015

Nashville - graffiti - a ball of flesh - a tuft of blue hair - hymnals - beer in Styrofoam mugs - respectable org*sms... In this absurd, poignant, uncomfortably funny play written by Academy Award nominated Peter Hedges, two women grow a unique friendship of compassion, support, and survival. Dana Sue Kaye, a voluble and seductive southerner with a gift for creative lying, and Brad's Wife (Valerie), a soft spoken northerner with the singing voice of an angel, surprise us time and again in this 80 minute journey through outrageous suffering that finds relief in the most unexpected exquisite form. Imagining Brad beautifully reveals the often-disquieting dynamics in the relationship of men and women in contemporary society. Featuring Sirena Irwin and Sarah Randall Hunt and Directed by Clare Carey.
