Theatre on Fire Brings 'Almost Blue' to Local Stage

Theatre on Fire will return to the local stage with a modern noir thriller, "Almost Blue," running May 3-18 at the Charlestown Working Theater.

The show will run Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at 8 p.m.

"A modern noir thriller set in a seedy rooming house, 'Almost Blue' assembles a classic quartet of characters: a man just out of prison trying to stay straight, a strange loner down the hall who writes pornographic greeting cards, a violent ex-con who wants to settle old scores, and of course, the beautiful woman in trouble," according to the show description. "Brutal yet funny, 'Almost Blue' is a taut journey into the dark night, full of plot twists and sultry exchanges, with the tour-de-force acting you've come to expect from TOF."

Directed by Brett Marks, the play stars James Bocock, Erin Brehm, Kevin Fennessy and Adam Siladi. The play is written by Keith Reddin.

As proclaimed on its website, "Theatre on Fire produces hot, high-quality plays that take you out of your comfort zone. We don't do cute and we don't do boring." 

This program is not appropriate for audience members under the age of 16.

Tickets cost $20 on the second weekend and $25 on the third weekend. To purchase tickets or for more information, visit charlestownworkingtheater.org or theatreonfire.org.
