Alligator Tears

An absurdist comedy about conformity and a mutual friend comes to West Walls Theatre this summer

Spring, 1960. Springvillehavenfieldtown, Florida. The dawn of the Space Race. Joan Jones has it made. Hasn't she? A run-in with a local 'undesirable' targeted by a disgraced cosmoscientist might say different.

Joan Jones seems to have it made, but wouldn't you know it, there's something missing - and she'll be damned if she knows what it is.

UNTIL...

One day she encounters Curtis Curtis, to the locals an undesirable, and to a disgraced cosmoscientist, a target. This meeting causes Joan to look beyond a world where she has to conform to the stars around.

Join us for this absurdist comedy theatrical event and find out the meaning of meatloaf, how to escape into space, and whether or not you can see the alligator.
