Pegasus Theatre to bring 'Living Black and White' show to MCL Grand
From staff reports
Pegasus Theatre will return to Lewisville later this month for another installment in its popular "Living Black and White" mystery plays. "XSR: Die!" will run for five shows Jan. 24-27 in the Performance Hall at the Medical Center of Lewisville Grand Theater.
Evening shows will start at 8 p.m. Jan. 24-26, with 3 p.m. matinee shows on Jan. 26-27. Tickets are $35 for Saturday night, $30 general admission and $20 for students and seniors on Friday night and at both matinees, and $20 general admission on Thursday evening.
Tickets are available at the Winspear Box Office of the AT&T Performing Arts Center, 2403 Flora Street in Dallas; online at www.attpac.org; or by phone at 214-880-0202. Advance tickets cannot be purchased at MCL Grand.
The well-known series of "Living Black & White" shows has been designed and produced by Pegasus Theatre since 1986. It uses a technique developed at Pegasus Theatre that combines trade-secret makeup, special lighting, meticulous costuming and set creation, and stylized acting to create the illusion that the audience is watching not just a play, but a 1940s black-and-white movie brought to life on stage.
"XSR: Die!" (theatre lingo meaning to Cross Stage Right and die) features Harry Hunsacker, a would-be actor turned would-be detective, in a mysterious mixture of murder and mayhem.
The story takes place backstage at a Broadway theatre on opening night of a new play by famed playwright, Clayton Farrell. The tyrannical director, Douglas Mallory, wants to make a last-minute change to the climactic scene of the play. A shot rings out and someone falls dead. Fortunately for the killer, Hunsacker (again portrayed by Pegasus Theatre artistic director and playwright Kurt Kleinmann) has stumbled into the wrong theatre looking for an audition, and things just get a lot more complicated!
This affectionate parody of detective films in the 1930s and 1940s will delight the whole family.
Pegasus Theatre is a professional not-for-profit theatre that began operations in October 1985. The mission of Pegasus Theatre is to "produce new and original comedies in a professional setting, highlighting the talents of North Texas theatre artists."
