Written by Elizabeth Meriwether and directed by Rich Brown, “The Mistakes Madeline Made” is a story of love and dirty people. The play follows a girl who toils away in a soul-crushing job as a personal assistant as she begins to battle all things clean after developing ablutophobia – the fear of bathing. Soon her smell starts to overwhelm her co-workers and her many casual lovers. A fantastic story about finding one’s self, the play raises the questions: Is it a political act to live dirty? And is it even feasible to live clean in our current times of unrest?
“The Mistakes Madeline Made” will show at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday through Saturday, Oct. 22-24 and Wednesday through Saturday, Oct. 28-31, as well as at 10:30 p.m. on Saturday Oct. 24 and 31.
A dark comedy, “The Mistakes Madeline Made” includes language and nudity and is intended for an adult audience.
