Market Street Theater Presents ‘The Clean House'

Beginning Friday, May 6, Market Street Theater in Collinsville will present The Clean House by Sarah Ruhl. 

The Theater’s website describes the show as follows:

"Lane’s life is in chaos: her maid, obsessed with her quest for the 'perfect joke,' is not cleaning the house. On the other hand, Lane’s sister is obsessed with cleaning. It seems like a match made in heaven until the three women discover that Lane’s husband is having an affair. Comic chaos ensues when all the roles are thrown into confusion: a maid who won’t clean; a doctor who needs healing; laughter that kills; love born out of hate; people who break up only to grow closer together......”

The Market Street Theater’s Artistic Director is Avon resident Nine Dechamps.

The cast includes Terri D’Arcangelo of Cromwell, Joan Duquette-Aresco of Wallingford, Kristin Flyntz of West Granby, Angie Joachim of Canton and Tony Palmieri of Middletown. Liz Ellsworth of New Britain is stage manager.

Performances are May 6, 7, 13, 14, and 20 at 8 p.m. and May May 8 at 2 p.m. The May 8 matinee will  benefit the Oddfellows Playhouse in Middletown, which lost its room of stored props and costumes in a building collapse over the winter.

Tickets are $15 for asults and $12 for students and seniors. Cash and checks will be accepted.

All tickets are general seating. Doors open at 7 p.m. (1 p.m. matinee) Market
