Theatre Columbus State presents Parallel Lives

Theatre Columbus State will recreate Kathy Najimy and Mo Gaffney's hilarious send-up of the plight of women and the battle of the sexes in modern America. San Francisco critic Chad Jones has called this show "pointed and funny, compassionate and extremely human."

Parallel Lives originated as a two-person sketch routine, "The Kathy and Mo Show," with Najimy and Gaffney playing a host of different, eccentric characters. HBO filmed a performance in San Francisco, and the resulting broadcast won the 1991 CableACE award for Best Comedy Performance and Best Comedy Special of the year. Mel Gussow at the New York Times called them "playful post-feminist satirists."

Columbus State performers step into the roles created by "Kathy and Mo," for the following performances in Nestor Auditorium:

     Thursday, May 17, at 3:00 pm and 8:00 pm
     Friday, May 18, at 8:00 pm
     Saturday, May 19, at 3:00 pm and 8:00 pm

Admission is free, and the public is welcome.  Prepare to laugh.
