The Miss Firecracker Contest
Beth Henley’s Southern gothic comedy may appear on its surface to be a comic explosion of red, glitter and blue, but this explosively funny play demonstrates the author’s gift for finding stories of empowerment and rich lodes of humor in the zany activities of small-town life. Runs through July 25. Performances are at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, 2:30 p.m. on Sundays, and 7 p.m. on Thursdays.
