A break from the Foote
Is the Horton Foote Festival getting a little much but you still want to head out to the theater? The El Centro College Actor’s Workshop presents Martin Sherman’s Bent about gay men in the Holocaust. Yes, some pretty heavy stuff, but the story is both tough and tender.
“Bent follows the life of Max, a promiscuous gay man in 1930’s Berlin. When a one night stand goes terribly wrong, Max finds himself running from the S.S. and eventually imprisoned in Dachau concentration camp.”
The production is directed by Daniel Scott Cates.
DEETS: El Centro College Arena Theatre,801 Main St. Through Sunday. Free.
