Messiah on the Frigidaire by John Culbertson June 24, 2008

Reality Aside Theatre Presents Messiah on the Frigidaire by John Culbertson as the second play in their reading series. “Messiah on the Frigidaire” the small town of Elroy, South Carolina is thrust into the evangelical spotlight, when what seems to be the image of Jesus appears on a refrigerator in a trailer park. The discovery by Lou Ann Hightower, her husband Dwayne, and her best friend Betsy, sets into motion a frenzy of conflict, communion and good old fashioned commerce. When the National Investigator turns the appearance into front page headlines, their trailer park becomes a mecca for miracle seekers, soul searchers and disciples with a decidedly political agenda. Through the ordeal, the three undergo an evolution in their relationships with each other, and they are forced to come to grips with their lowly status in the caste system of the rural south. So join us for the fun.
The reading series will happen on the second and fourth Tuesdays of every month. All these reading are open to all and free of charge. The summers plays are 7/8 “The Real Inspector Hound” & “Artist Descending a Staircase” by Tom Stoppard, 7/22 “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)” by Jess Borgeson, Adam Long & Daniel Singer, 8/12 “Early One Evening at the Rainbow Bar and Drille” by Bruce Graham and 8/26 “Love Love’s a Pornographer” by Jeff Goode.
Each reading will open with an episode of “Larry and the Werewolf” by Jeff Goode. This is written in serial form and each ten min. episode ends with a cliffhanger. It’s a hilarious spoof of detective, film noir and old horror movies.
