Tom Robbins' EVEN COWGIRLS GET THE BLUES
September 16-October 12, 2008 | Opening Night Friday, September 19 Center House Theatre
Adapted by Jennifer Sue Johnson | Directed by Russ Banham
This sexy, metaphorical romp by Tom Robbins was a late-'70s counterculture favorite. Spiritual, goofy, political, and poetic, Robbins' brilliant intellectual plots are a trip on a wild ride. Heroine Sissy Hankshaw's unusually large thumbs point her toward her physiological destiny: she becomes an underground hitchhiking legend. At the end of the road, FBI agents, whooping cranes, and the eponymous cowgirls collide in our story's climax at the Rubber Rose Ranch.
SINGLE TICKETS available online starting Tuesday, August 26.
