Patio/Porch at Third Avenue Playhouse

Patio/Porch is now on stage at Third Avenue Playhouse (TAP) through June 5.

Written by Jack Heifner and directed by James Valcq, the structure of Patio/Porch is two one-act plays – one set on a patio and the other on a porch. Each play has two very different sets of characters both played by the same two actresses, Amy Ensign and Jacque Troy. Meet Pearl, her beautician sister Jewel, a crotchety old woman named Dot, and her restless daughter Lucille in this funny, very human portrait of life in a small Texas town.

Ensign has appeared numerous times at TAP, most recently in last summer’s Steel Magnolias. Troy made her TAP debut last summer in Sylvia. She comes to TAP from Milwaukee where she’s appeared with the Milwaukee Rep, Milwaukee Chamber Theatre, Renaissance, First Stage and In Tandem. She is also an artist/educator for Milwaukee’s Arts@Large program.

Tickets are $25 general admission and $10 students.

Performances will be held at 7:30 pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 pm on Sundays. For tickets, call 920.743.1760, visit ThirdAvenuePlayhouse.com, or stop by the box office at 234 N. Third Avenue in Sturgeon Bay.
