‘Elemeno Pea’ comedy hits WCU stage

art elemenopeaA comedy set in Martha’s Vineyard that explores a wealthy world of infinity pools, Bentleys and yacht clubs with men in pink pants, “Elemeno Pea” will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 1-3 and at 3 p.m. Oct. 4 in Hoey Auditorium at Western Carolina University.

 

The production features a trio of intelligent, funny, remarkable women — all facing crucial moments in their lives — and is rife with humor coupled with intensely crucial stakes. Simone, an aspiring writer formerly of Buffalo, New York, is employed as a personal assistant to one of the island’s “trophy wives” when her older sister, Devon, comes for a weekend visit. Devon witnesses her younger sibling’s efforts to conform and fit into a world of luxury and possessions, and wages a complicated war for nothing less than Simone’s very soul.

Individual tickets to the show, which contains adult language and content, are $16 for adults, $11 for seniors and WCU faculty and staff, and $7 (in advance) and $10 (day of show) for students.

The play opens the WCU School of Stage and Screen’s Mainstage season for the 2014-15 academic year. For more information about the season, visit www.mainstage.wcu.edu
