Written by American playwright David Lindsay-Abaire, Fuddy Meers is both hysterically funny and deeply heartbreaking. The story revolves around Claire, an amnesiac who wakes up every morning with a blank slate ala Drew Barrymore in 50 First Dates. One morning Claire is abducted and told her husband is trying to kill her. The mayhem which ensues is seen through Claire’s eyes with an ending proving everything is not always what it seems to be.
Says SPT Artistic and Education Director Shana Bestock, “Rehearsals are the highlight of my day. It’s a joy to work on this rich material with such vibrant, intelligent and powerfully connected young artists.” Bestock adds, “I’m also continually blown away with how much of a shorthand we, as an ensemble, have developed. By the time they are seniors, these actors need very little direction from me.”
The SPT Summer Youth Program offers high-quality summer drama workshops taught by professional theater artists for youth grades K-12. Classes empower young people with a creative means of self-expression, and build ensemble through group process.
Fuddy Meers performances are: July 2nd, 7pm; July 3rd, 7pm; July 4th, 2pm; July 9th, 7pm; and July 10th, 2pm and 7pm. All youth shows are free, however donations are gladly accepted.
Please note that the play contains strong language and adult themes.
