NORCROSS
“Dearly Departed” at Norcross Cultural Arts Center
Lionheart Theatre Company takes David Bottrell's and Jessie Jones’ play “Dearly Departed” and drops it in the deep fryer. After patriarch Bud Turpin drops dead at the breakfast table, his dysfunctional brood shows its true troubled colors beaming brightly from their red necks. From the corn dogs and Budweiser served at the funeral to the play’s motley crew of backwater misfits, “Dearly Departed” revels in the stereotypes found south of the Mason-Dixon. Jason Caldwell directs.
7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays. March 4-20. $15; $12 students and seniors. Lionheart Theatre Company at Norcross Cultural Arts Center, 10 College St., Norcross. 770-885-0425, www.lionhearttheatre.org.
