Directed by Dudley Cox, this is the hilarious yet poignant tale of a southern family who have to come to grips with the sudden death of their patriarch, Bud Turpin. Remembered fondly by some and not-so-fondly by others, Bud leaves behind a family wrestling with guilt, anger, turmoil and dissatisfaction.
Dearly Departed runs October 18, 19, 20, 24, 25, 26, 27 and November 1,2,3. Thursday, Friday and Saturday performances at 8pm and Sunday matinees at 2pm.
