Riverfront Playhouse to Present 'Where's My Money?'
The Riverfront Playhouse at 11-13 South Water Street Mall in downtown Aurora will continue their 2010 season with Where's My Money? by John Patrick Shanley, opening Friday, August 13 at 8pm and continuing Fridays and Saturday nights at 8pm through September 18.
Marriage and its discontents are the subject of Where's My Money? When Celeste, an out-of-work actor who's cheating on her boyfriend with a married man, runs into Natalie, whom she hasn't seen in years, the two have some catching up to do. Natalie, an accountant married to a lawyer, gives the impression of being very together and does not approve of Celeste's lifestyle. "I don't know any other way to put this," she tells her. "You're a whore.”
But Natalie's life is not nearly as together as it appears. In fact, her marriage with Henry is hanging by a thread, and she's being visited by the ghost of an ex-boyfriend who claims she owes him money. Meanwhile, it turns out that the married man Celeste is having an affair with is Henry's idol, Sidney, a divorce lawyer with a pet theory that one partner in every marriage will be unfaithful, so it might as well be you.
Under the direction of Gene Scheffler and Brian Knauf, Where’s My Money? features the talents of Anastasia Shepro as Celeste, Kristen Duerdoth as Natalie, Brandon VanLear as Henry, Thom Dickens as Sydney, Jill Kustush as Marcia Marie, and Tristan Porter as Tommy.
