Back Alley Productions has partnered with Los Angeles-based film producers to adapt their movie script of the dark comedy “It’s A Disaster” into a stage production. The play will open Friday, June 2, in the Mars Theatre in LaFayette, Ga., for seven performances through June 16.
“It’s A Disaster” details the superficial lives of four couples who meet together for an annual brunch that has become somewhat strained over the years, explains director Kaylee Smith.
Glenn is Tracy’s new boyfriend. And it’s his first time meeting the entire gang. They both know it’s going to be a little awkward, but at least it’s not the end of the world. Or is it?
Based on the 2012 dark comedy film of the same name, what starts as a sudden airing of petty grievances between the couples soon takes an unexpectedly funny (and dark) turn when the couples discover they are stuck in a house together as the world comes to an end. Trapped and unsure of their chances at survival, these apparently normal, albeit shallow, friends become unhinged to hysterical results.
