By Michael Gotch
Directed by Mark Lamos
JAN. 16 – FEB. 2After last season’s wildly successful Minor
Fantastical Kingdoms, Michael Gotch returns with a darker look at
middle America. In a withering Midwest town, Karen James—wife,
mother, and breadwinner— has enough venison chili to survive the
approaching winter but is being pushed to the edge by her husband’s
work injury and her son’s misbehavior. A visit from a stranger
promises relief, but only if Karen and her family can survive secrets
from the past and the buried conflicts they reveal. A finalist in the
Ashland New Play Festival's 2019 competition, Starter Pistol is a
roller coaster ride of tension and laughter, a story of a family
holding themselves together in the toughest of times while just trying
to make it to the big Friday Night MegaBall drawing. Contains adult
language and situations.
