About This Show
The Avenue Theater presents Beth Flynn and Pamela Clifton in Parallel Lives, a play by Mo Gaffney and Kathy Najimy, directed by Robert Wells.
Two of Denver’s finest and funniest actresses bring 25 characters to blazing life in this cult-favorite comedy hit written by Mo Gaffney (That 70s Show) and Kathy Najimy (Sister Act).
Two Supreme Beings plan the beginning of the world with the relish of two slightly-sadistic suburban housewives; an air-head and her obnoxious frat boyfriend at “queer Denny’s”; two adult sisters who get into a food fight at their grandmother’s funeral; two New York seniors in a continuing ed class that brings them to a feminist café, where two performance artists fiercely celebrate womanhood; a dirt farmer’s widow who endorses feminine hygiene products, just before two male ballplayers find themselves in a time-warped world where men have “monthlies”; – and more delicious characters and situations.
