John Ford Noonan’s “A Coupla Chicks Sitting Around Talking” premieres May 28 at Theatre Southwest, but y’all get ready – there’s a lot more action than the title of the show will have you believe.
Directed by Justin Holloway, the show homes in on Maude Mix, a strait-laced and uptight Westchester housewife whose perfectly scheduled day is thrown into comical chaos when her new neighbor Hannah Mae Bindler bursts into her meticulously ordered kitchen.
Hannah Mae and her husband have just moved up from Texas, and Hannah Mae’s oversexed and earthy take on life mixes with Maude’s demeanor like oil and water. Hannah Mae is determined to make Maude her friend, however, and soon crises in both women’s marriages come to light which bring the polar opposites together. The evolution of their unlikely friendship is engrossing, touching, and uproariously hilarious.
The show stars Tricia Yurcak as Maude Mix and Brit Garcia as Hannah Mae Bindler.
Performances will be held at Theatre Southwest, 8944-A Clarkcrest, 77063.
