Ghost Light Theatricals will finish its "Ch-Ch-Changes" season next month with The Clouds, A Reality Play, the second co-winner of last year's Battle of the Bards.
Inspired by The Clouds by Aristophanes and adapted by Alexis Holzer, The Clouds, A Reality Play is a fresh, comedic look at upper class society and our unwillingness to take responsibility for our extravagant lifestyles.
Thanks to the boom in reality TV we have witnessed the outrageous, extravagant and dramatic lives of housewives from Malibu to Massachusetts. In this new comedy, aging reality star Stephanie Stophanes is deep in debt, in the midst of a messy divorce, and facing cancellation. Stephanie seeks the help of the screwball Socrates and his School for Life Skills in hopes of once again being relevant. With backstabbing agents, rude crew members, and TV show parodies, The Clouds, A Reality Play shines a comedic light on the underbelly of reality TV shows, and the "stars" that make them.
The play premiers on April 15th and will run for two weeks with a final performance on May 1st.
Tickets are $15, $12 for students and seniors, and are available at the door or at Brown Paper Tickets.
The play will be performed at The Ballard Underground at 2220 NW Market.
