Photo Flash: Shelterbelt Presents MRS. JENNINGS' SITTER & MOUNTAIN LION Through 7/19

Mrs. Jennings' Sitter by Ellen Struve: In an affluent suburb of Everyday America, a kleptomaniac high school babysitter catches Mrs. Jennings lying to her husband about the authenticity of a new handbag. Accusations accompany blackmail and the two women enter into an embattled, alternately intense and comic contest for insight involving prescription pills, Ding Dongs, motherhood, world religion and scrapbooking. A featured selection at Great Plains Theatre Conference 2008.

Mountain Lion by Ellen Struve: Boyd and Peggy's dog may or may not be missing. There may or may not be a mountain lion lurking about. Their son may or may not be an arsonist. Something is definitely wrong in suburban America.

Mrs. Jennings' Sitter and Mountain Lion runs through July 19, 2009. Showtimes are 8 pm Thurs-Sat and 2 pm on Sunday, July 19. Special talkback performance on July 14 at 7 pm, featuring post-play discussion with the author and cast. A selection at Great Plains Theatre Conference 2009.

$20 for a pass to both sets of shows, or $15 adult, $12 student, senior and TAG members. Special $10 pricing on July 9, July 14, and July 23.
