Noah Haidle's Mr. Marmalade, directed by Olivia Trevino for the Garage Theatre evokes laughter, pain and a greater sense of imagination. What begins as innocent make-believe transforms into a dark horrific exploration of adult relationships.Cali Dunaway plays Lucy, a 4-year-old with a vivid adult imagination. The audience follows this bold and fearless young actress into a twisted version of childhood pretend. Her imaginary friend, Mr. Marmalade presents himself as a self-indulgent scoundrel, generally destroying Lucy’s perfect world with his cocaine habits, porno, abuse and alcoholism. Angel Correa attacks the role of Mr. Marmalade with vigor and humor in his over-the-top performance.
Performances are 8pm, Thur. - Sat. The show runs until May 21. Tickets are $15-20. The Theatre is located at 251 E. Seventh Street, Long Beach. For more info call (866) 811-4111 or visit http://www.thegaragetheatre.org/
