Public Theatre of Kentucky Presents: Dearly Departed
The Public Theatre of Kentucky proudly presents its newest performance, Dearly Departed. The show begins October 18 and runs through November 3. In the Baptist backwoods of the Bible Belt, the beleaguered Turpin family proves that living and dying in the South are seldom tidy and always hilarious. Despite their earnest efforts to pull themselves together for their father's funeral, the Turpin's other problems keep overshadowing the solemn occasion. Amidst the chaos, the Turpins turn for comfort to their friends and neighbors, an eccentric community of misfits who just manage to pull together and help each other through their hours of need, and finally, the funeral.
For direct information on showtimes and tickets, please call 270-781-6233 or visit the website below.
