Valley Performing Arts Dinner Theatre Event
Contributed by Jenna Worley
Back by popular demand, Valley Performing Arts is offering another on-site dinner theater experience this season. "Rex's Exes” is a comedic play that follows the Verdeen cousins of Sweetgum, Texas, as they navigate a series of hilarious and chaotic events surrounding a surprise birthday party that unexpectedly turns into a funeral.
"Rex's Exes," is written by the famous trio of Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, and Jamie Wooten, and directed by longtime veteran director and VPA Board member Dave Nufer. This Southern-fried farce centers on Gaynelle, Peaches, and Jimmie Wyvette. As they prepare for Gaynelle's surprise 50th birthday party, things take a wild turn when the party plans shift to a hastily organized family funeral instead. The plot thickens with the unexpected return of Peaches' supposedly deceased husband, revealing romantic ties to each of the cousins. A series of comedic mishaps ensue, including a Cajun bounty hunter and a jilted bride with a paintball gun.
Grab a friend or two and get your tickets at www.vpaalaska.org while they’re still available. You won’t want to miss out on this night of laughter paired with good food, and tasty drinks! Performance dates are February 20th through March 8th. “Rex’s Exes” is generously sponsored by the ClockTower Shops.
