QCT is pleased as punch to announce our first public play reading, a new comedy by the stalwart Rachel Teagle.

QUESTIONABLE COMPANY THEATRE PRESENTS THE FIRST PUBLIC READING OF PAIN IN THE NECK, A NEW LESBIAN VAMPIRE COMEDY
September 16, 2009 at Bedlam Theatre

Questionable Company Theatre presents the first public reading of Pain in the Neck a new comedy by local playwright Rachel Teagle. This inventive and endearing script concerns two women whose relationship is strained by the arrival of a mysterious stranger who offers immense professional opportunity. But it seems he wants to sink his teeth into more than her portfolio. Bedlam Theatre hosts the public of this whimsical comedy about love, bisexuality and vampires.

The event will be free of charge and offers a unique chance to be a part of a work in progress. John Heimbuch of Walking Shadow Theatre Company will direct the reading, which features local spoken word artist Katherine Glover. Rachel Teagle’s work has been seen around town at the Minnesota Fringe Festival (Orange: a farce about terrorism), Bedlam’s Ten Minute Community Play Festival (Flashenstein!) and Theatre Unbound’s 24 Hour Play Project (How the Amazons Got Their Boobs Back).

Stay tuned for more information about the reading!

By the way, the image above is "The Vampire" by Philip Burne-Jones, which was said to have inspired his cousin, Rudyard Kipling's poem of the same name. Thanks internet!
