Dubbed "Essential Ringwald", the 10th season will highlight the kind of shows The Ringwald has come to be known for in its 10 year history. The second show of the season is 3C by David Adjmi.
The war in Vietnam is over and Brad, an ex-serviceman, lands in L.A. to start a new life. When he winds up trashed in Connie and Linda's kitchen after a wild night of partying, the three strike a deal for an arrangement that has hilarious and devastating consequences for everyone. Inspired by the 1970s sitcom Three's Company, 1950s existentialist comedy, Chekhov and Disco anthems, 3C is a terrifying yet amusing look at a culture that likes to amuse itself, even as it teeters on the brink of ruin.
After a protracted legal battle between the playwright and
DLT Entertainment, who owns the copyright to the famed sitcom, Adjmi came out victorious, clearing the path for new productions of the play. The Ringwald is thrilled to be the first in Michigan to present this hysterical and terrifying play.
Joe Bailey directs a cast that includes
Dyan Bailey, Dave Davies, Kelly Komlen,
Bryan Lark, Sydney Lepora, and Jake Rydell.
