Carlsbad Playreaders Present the Romantic Comedy 'The Clean House'

Join Carlsbad Playreaders on March 21 at 7:30 p.m. for an acclaimed play of uncommon romance and comedy.  “The Clean House,” by Sarah Ruhl, was praised by The New York Times as “romantic, deeply so, but in the more arcane sense of the word: visionary, tinged with fantasy, extravagant in feeling, maybe a little nuts.”

 In “The Clean House,” Matilde (played by Anyelid Meneses) is a maid who hates cleaning and dreams about creating the perfect joke, while a doctor who treats cancer leaves his heart inside one of his patients.

"We are excited to be presenting new, cutting edge works to our audiences,” commented Carlsbad Playreaders’ Artistic Director Eric Bishop during a recent rehearsal.  “‘The Clean House’ is a witty, beautifully crafted comedy by the brilliant playwright Sarah Ruhl."

The play reading takes place at Carlsbad City Library’s Ruby G. Schulman Auditorium, located at 1775 Dove Lane. Tickets are available at the auditorium the evening of the performance for a suggested $5 donation for adults and $1 for students.

The talented cast also includes Sherri Allen, Maelyn Gandola, June Gottleib, Kathryn Mitchell Herbruck and Andy Rowe. For more information, visit carlsbadplayreaders.org.
