DIRTY LAUNDRY Extends At WP Theater Through Late October

The world premiere of Dirty Laundry has extended its limited engagement through October 27th at WP Theater. Playwright Mathilde Dratwa said, “It's thrilling to sit in the theater and watch audience members respond to the performances of this phenomenal cast. I'm so glad that even more people will get to gasp, laugh, and cry with us!”

After the woman who unites them dies, three people grapple with love, loss, lust...and household chores. Meanwhile, a Spin Cycle of voices pings with questions: are you still a daughter when your mother dies? Are you still the other woman when the first woman is gone? And maybe more importantly–how do you clean all that Dirty Laundry? By special arrangement with Spark Theatrical/Laurie Bernhard, Dirty Laundry runs from September 21 through October 27, and celebrated its official opening night on October 6.
