Around The Old Pueblo

The Alternative Theatre Company kicks off its 2008 seaon with a silent auction Friday, May 23, at 7 pm, preceding the 8 pm performance of Beyond Therapy. See the Alternative Theatre Company website for a list of items in the auction. Beyond Therapy addresses the thin line between being Gay, straight and Bisexual. Set in Manhattan during the early 1980s, two singles seek love and find sanity (sort of) as they navigate the neuroses of their not-so-stable psychoanalysts. Prudence's macho therapist swears a lot and calls her nasty names; Bruce's wacky female shrink recommends barking as a form of self-expression. Prudence is urged to be more assertive, while Bruce is encouraged to meet women by placing a personal ad. His therapist does not fully comprehend that Bruce has a male lover, who is not pleased by Bruce's desire to date a woman, so when Bruce's personal ad brings him and Prudence together, the hapless couple must come to their senses and overcome their zany therapists' "help" to find romance in a whacked-out world. They ultimately learn to live beyond therapy in this delightful Off-Broadway hit that moved successfully to Broadway.
