1959 Pink Thunderbird Plays: "Laundry and Bourbon" and "Lone Star"

DETC presents the 1959 Pink Thunderbird Plays: "Laundry and Bourbon" staring Lee Rice as Elizabeth. Theresa Jewett as Amy Lee Ashton Loyo as Hattie.

"Elizabeth's home in Maynard, Texas, on a hot summer afternoon. Elizabeth and her friend Hattie are whiling away the time folding laundry, watching TV, sipping bourbon and Coke, and gossiping about the many open secrets which are so much a part of small-town life. They are joined by the self-righteous Amy Lee who, among other tidbits, can't resist gossiping about Elizabeth's husband While the ensuing conversation is increasingly edged with bitter humor, from it emerges a sense of Elizabeth's inner strength and her quiet understanding of the turmoil which has beset her husband since his return from Vietnam. He is wild, but he needs her, and she loves him. And she'll be waiting for him when he comes home"

"Lone Star" staring Theo Nowicki as Roy. Stephen McMillen as Ray. Florentino Carrillo as Cletis.

"In the cluttered backyard of a small-town Texas bar. Roy, a brawny, macho type who had once been a local high-school hero, is back in town after a hitch in Vietnam and trying to reestablish his position in the community. Joined by his younger brother, Ray (who worships him), Roy sets about consuming a case of beer while regaling Ray with tales of his military and amorous exploits. Apparently Roy cherishes three things above all; his country, his sexy young wife, and his 1959 pink Thunderbird. With the arrival of Cletis, the fatuous, newlywed son of the local hardware store owner, the underpinnings of Roy's world begin to collapse."
