Backstage Theatre is pleased to host the award-winning Aspen Stage production of
"Parallel Lives", starring the incomparable duo of Peggy Mundinger and Wendy Perkins.
Two actresses play men and women struggling through the common rituals of modern life: teenagers on
a date, sisters at their grandmother's funeral, a man and a woman together in a country-western bar.
With boundless humor, this outrageous comedy reexamines the ongoing quest to find parity and love in a
contest handicapped by capricious gods - or in this case, goddesses.
A presentation of Aspen Stage.
In collaboration with Brad Moore (director), Tom Ward (sets), and Gordon and Loren
Wilder (sound), Peggy Mundinger and Wendy Perkins transform into 27 different characters
as they present this hysterical menagerie depicting the war between the sexes. This production
has been performed to great acclaim in the Roaring Fork Valley, winning Best Production and
Best Actress awards from the Colorado Community Theatre Coalition and selling out runs
wherever it plays. "The appeal is how Peggy and Wendy have gotten to the heart of each
character," director Moore says, "getting to the truth and honesty, getting them real. It's not
stand-up comedy. So the humor comes through the relationships - to each other, and the
situations they're in."
And gather your best gal pals for an exclusive Ladies Only night on Friday, September 25.
The show contains adult language and mature content and is not recommended for children.
