Lone Star / Laundry and Bourbon

Two one act comedies by James McLure
Directed by Rainee Angles

Lone Star

Cast: Donald Gehres as Roy, Daniel Bragdon as Ray
& Bryce Penwell as Cletis

Lone Star takes place 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, Roy sets about consuming a case of beer while regaling Ray with tales of his military and amorous exploits.

Laundry and Bourbon

Cast: Ayla Stirnaman as Elizabeth, Katie Cavendish as Hattie
& Courtney Beekman as Amy Lee

The setting of Laundry and Bourbon is the front porch of Roy and 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 blurting out that Roy has been seen around town with another woman.
