Summer Evening in Des Moines

Second Thought Theatre brings in guest director Kelly Russell to continue the tradition of Second Thought Theatre at the Bath House as part of the 8th annual Festival of Independent Theatres. In Summer Evening in Des Moines, Mr. Russell dives head first into this post-modern romantic comedy from acclaimed playwright Charles Mee. Summer Evening in Des Moines is peopled with characters searching for happiness and fulfillment–a tourist, a dysfunctional family, a man in a mouse suit, a ventriloquist, and a cross-dresser. Trapped in Mee’s absurd amusement park, they avoid the hopelessness and despair of their daily lives to find meaning in their existence.
