Two married couples perform a dizzy dance of stylish steps and changing partners in this clever and literate romp directed last summer by Tracy Brigden at the legendary Westport Country Playhouse. Variety said this “delightful comedy…goes straight to the snappy lines, epigrammatic observations and libidinous foolishness.”

In Bust, writer/performer Lauren Weedman (a former Daily Show correspondent) contrasts her volunteer work helping female inmates at the Los Angeles County Jail with her experience in beauty-obsessed Hollywood. Weedman plays dozens of characters, shifting from prostitute to parole officer, addict to editor, Latino to Valley Girl in a matter of seconds. Bust was voted Best in the Arts by Seattle Magazine. The Seattle Times described it as “rife with hilarity and home truths gleaned the hard way.”
