āSordid Livesā is a comedy about unconditional love, acceptance, death, adultery, betrayal and laughs starring four Central Oregon Community College students.
The play is about a familyĀ who come together after the accidental death of the elderly family matriarch Peggy. After her death, the family is plunged into chaos and it brings out the best and worst of them.
āIt sends a good message, it brings the family together and it is hysterically funny,ā said Sandy Klein, producer of the play.
The characters include a mother who is in denial about her son being gay, a singer at local watering hole,Ā a person-cheating on his wife whose wooden legs killed the matriarch and a wife who is being cheated on and seeking revenge therapy.
āIt is set in Texas, and I was born there. The people that live there are crazy and that is my type of people,ā said Raechel Gilland, a COCC student who plays Noleta.
Sherise Esther, another student actor, said she is enjoying working with a diverse cast, as well as the humor of the production.
āIt is going to be funny … we laugh during the rehearsals and I really love how we (the characters) are portrayed in the message,ā said Esther.
Adam Eagle, who plays ācross dressing lunaticā Brother Boy, points to director David DaCostaās focus to downplay the stereotypes and make the characters āreal.ā
Eagle had to make some adjustments to play his character, including shaving his beard and waxing his arms and legs.
āMy grandmother hardly recognized me,ā he said.
Along with the laughs, Eagle praised the play itself.
āThe script is so well written,ā he said.
