Crooked

Crooked, by Catherine Trieschmann, opens The Schmee season in January. The Culture Wars come home to roost in this penetrating look inside a typical American family when 14 year old Lacey befriends Maribel, the sheltered insecure daughter of an evangelical pastor. Secular mom Elise casts a wary eye as the two adolescents dance a complex pas de deux between two worlds.

Ms. Trieschmann has been recognized as one of the up and coming new American playwrights. Her plays include The Bridegroom of Blowing Rock (recipient of the L. Arnod Weissberger award), Before the Fire, The World of Others and Hot Georgia Sunday. Her work has been produced and/or developed at the Bush Theatre (London), the Summer Play Festival, Actor's Theatre of Louisville, Theatre in the Square (Atlanta), the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, LARK, Williamstown Theatre Festival, and LAByrinth, among others. Theater Schmeater's production of Crooked is a Seattle premiere and will be directed by Russ Banham.
