The men of a small Prohibition-era town decide to stage a play dressed in “fancy-type, women-type clothes.” As the production begins to take shape, gender lines blur, eyebrows raise, identities explode, and life and art are forever entangled. Act A Lady is a thoughtful and exuberant Midwestern fable about the woman in every man, the man in every woman and the power of theater to uncover both. Accompanied by accordion. Azuka is proud to return to Harrison’s work after our hit production of Kid Simple (2008).
