Point Loma Playhouse is proud to present their most recent production: "The Artificial Jungle", a play written by Charles Ludlam. About the play: The scene is set in a pet shop on Manhattan's Lower East Side, It is not a well kept shop but rather a family affair with the owners living in the back of the store. Chester and his mother are overly devoted to each other, while wife Roxanne is deeply unhappy with her lot in life. A 2-bit grifter, looking for a new score, arrives and disturbs the shaky equilibrium. Nonstop hilarity ensues. All the emotions are there in spades –lust, greed, guilt, double entendre, silliness, ventriloquism, and, of course... MURDER. Join us at Point Loma Playhouse for "The Artificial Jungle" opening night on Friday, March 25 at 8 p.m. The play will be showing through Sunday, April 10 on the following schedule: • Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. • Sundays at 3 p.m. Get tickets here!
