SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Three sisters reunite at the family home, what could possibly go wrong? The final play of the 2023 Valhalla Arts, Music, and Theatre Festival, Of Good Stock, will be at the Valhalla Boathouse Theatre on October 26-29 and November 2-5 at 7:30 p.m.
Of Good Stock is by Melissa Ross.
When legendary novelist Mick Stockton died, he left his three daughters a house in Cape Cod, control over his books, and a whole lot of issues. Years later, the men in their lives struggle to be a part of this elusive family’s legacy. It’s not always easy keeping up with the hurricane of the whip-smart and sharp-tongued Stockton Sisters. Especially during a weekend filled with dramatic confrontations and surprising confessions. But good scotch helps. A raw, poignant, and hilarious look at the fun and dysfunction of family.
The Valhalla production features a seasoned cast of local favorites with Ryan Adams, Tom Callahan, Ginger Nicolay Davis, Diana Arington Evans, Thomas Lopez, and Michelle Sennings.
“Smoothly paced, occasionally touching, and…as comforting as a quart of mint chocolate chip ice cream, eaten straight from the container.” — NY Times.
“The reunion, oiled with scotch, leads to upsetting revelations, the airing of grievances, clumsy tendernesses, profane screams and forgiving ruminations that volley across the stage in a zany, often very funny cacophony…Ross’s characters are drawn with assurance, wit and gentle mockery—we definitely have met these people…” — LA Times.
“Laugh-out-loud funny…relatable and thoroughly entertaining.” —Entertainment Weekly.
