My new comedy
Uneaten Cantaloupe, which opened last Friday at Provo Theater Company through the New Play Project (the same place and group which put on my play
Swallow The Sun, for those of you who were able to attend that), closes this weekend. For those who have seen my plays before, you should know that in this one...
There is no polygamy.
There are no mythological archetypes.
There is no tragic ending.
There are no pining immortals.
There are no theological discussions between famous literary characters.
There are no headless horsemen on the rampage.
There are no sad farewells to an eden-like past.
It's not even a drama.
In short, it's unlike any of my other plays. It's just fun, frothy weirdness on the rampage. A wacky, reality bending comedy appropriate for the whole family (although, fair warning, there is a lot of kissing!). Go in there expecting something more along the lines of a Warner Brothers cartoon rather than my usual melodrama or spiritual morality tales and you'll be prepared. We have two places where you can see a trailer which was made for the play:

Upon the stage of a theater can be represented in character, evil and its consequences, good and its happy results and rewards; the weakness and the follies of man, the magnamity of virtue and the greatness of truth. The stage can be made to aid the pulpit in impressing upon the minds of a community an enlightened sense of a virtuous life, also a proper horror of the enormity of sin and a just dread of its consequences. The path of sin with its thorns and pitfalls, its gins and snares can be revealed, and how to shun it (Discourses of Brigham Young, p.243; Bookcraft, 199
