WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Secret Rose Theatre and Blazeco Productions presents Stephen Karam's Off-Broadway hit comedy, "Speech & Debate". When three teenage misfits in Salem, Oregon find themselves linked by a sex scandal involving one of their teachers, they join forces to seek out and expose the truth (without exposing their "Bathing-suit-areas" in the process), in this funny and controversial dark comedy with music.
"Speech & Debate" was written by Karam when he was just 25, using the transcript of an online chat between the former mayor of Spokane, Washington and a gay teenager as the basis for this fiercely funny and edgy new play. The play received a GLAAD Media nomination upon its premiere, and was hailed by Entertainment Weekly in 2006 as "one of the top 10 plays of the year"
What are other members saying?
RE:Great production!
Excellent performances from the cast. Simon Daniel Lees gives a strong performance as the confused and sensitive Solomon, to counterpart Matt Strunins acerbic but funny Howie. Tiffany Jordans Diwata nearly steals the show with her over the top manipulations of the boys, and Nina Donato brings humor and compassion to two adult roles, including a hilarious reporter from the "Oregonian". A really fun and well done show, with a great use of the small space. cheap tix avail on goldstar,com and they have 10 buck student tix
