The Untimely Demise of Big Earl Jessup

August 28 – September 12
Dinner Stage 

Comedy ensues at Hooter Brothers Funeral Home
(formerly Captain Bill's Seafood Palace)
when the women in Big Earl’s life (“Drive it Like You Stole It” used cars owner)
gather at his funeral: his widow, her best friend, his ex-wife,
his mistress (who was with him when he died), his mother, and his sister.

“The Untimely Demise,” directed by David Cerreta, is definitely a crowd-pleaser...
This is definitely an ensemble piece, and this cast of six women is strong.
Their comic timing is superb, and each of the actresses keeps the pace moving quickly...
will leave you rolling off the Backdoor parking lot laughing all the way home.
