July 2, 2007 -- The University of Wyoming's Snowy Range Summer Theatre and Dance Festival
theatre season closes with an original comedy written and directed by William Missouri
Downs, UW playwright-in-residence and professor.
"Kosher Lutherans," runs Tuesday, July 10, through Saturday, July 14, at 7:30 p.m.
in the Fine Arts Center studio theatre. Tickets cost $5 for students, $8 for senior
citizens (60 and older) and $10 for others. For tickets call the Fine Arts Center
box office at (307) 766-6666 or go online at www.uwyo.edu/finearts.
Kosher Lutherans centers on Sally and Franklyn, the seemingly perfect couple who
desperately want to have a child of their own, but are unable to do so.
As the couple begins to wonder if they'll ever become parents, they have a chance
encounter with a God-fearing pregnant girl from Iowa who offers to let the couple
adopt her out-of-wedlock baby.
Just before the adoption papers are signed, Sally and Franklyn discover the girl
is unaware that they are Jewish. Knowing the revelation could throw a ratchet into
the whole works, the couple poses as Lutherans to appeal to the girl's apparent Midwestern
sensibilities. But how far are they willing to go to have a family?
