The 2010 - 2011 Season: Perception/Projection

Star Bar is deeply saddened to learn of the sudden passing of Judy Girard, one of our oldest and dearest friends; she might very well have taken your ticket and shown you to your seat. She and her husband of 17 years, John Megow, met during a Star Bar show and were just as in love now as they ever were; their devotion and delight in each other were a joy to behold.  Judy died of heart failure on February 1 after rescuing her granddaughter and family pets from a carbon monoxide leak in her home. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to either of two causes important to her, AIDS research and Belgian Tervuren dog rescue.  The rest of Star Bar's 2010 - 2011 season is dedicated to her memory. You can find her full obituary online at the Gazette.

Waiting for Godot Samuel Beckett November 5 - 20, 2010 November: Pass the time with Didi and Gogo in the original show about nothing; they cover everything from footwear to flatulence in this uproarious, dolorous reflection on the ridiculous dignity of the human condition, the elusive nature of meaning and the oft-excruciating ennui of existence. Beckett’s quintessential work exquisitely articulates the desolate hilarity of the quest for relevance in a cryptic universe. Will Godot ever come – and even if he does, will it matter?

March 18 -April 3, 2011: The gang from WYNOT Radio (Gazette's pick for Best Comedy, 2010) is back with The Smoking Gun Affair , another episode of side-splitting serial Rick Luger: Private Dick, the wacky, wicked brainchild of local comedy king Cory Moosman. Live action! Audience participation! Prop comedy! This hysterical homage to radio's heyday will have you howling! THE INDEPENDENT: Matthew Schniper reviews The Smoking Gun Affair

June 3, 4, 5; 10, 11, 12; 17, 18 19, 2011:  Christopher Durang's outrageous, irreverent take on patriotism and paranoia in the post-9/11 world. Felicity awakens one morning with a terrible hangover - and married to a complete stranger: Zamir, whose volatile temper, mysterious activities and indeterminate ethnicity push the Threat Level up to Orange for her and her parents. The insanity escalates with a couple of shadow-government operatives, a sinister butterfly collection and an amateur spy who keeps losing her undies. From Freedom Fries to waterboarding, nothing is sacred in this acerbic, absurd and affectionate insight into an America under attack.
