Pagosa Springs audiences have been turning out in strong numbers for \u201cBakersfield Mist,\u201d and this weekend marks the final chance to see the show before it closes.<\/p>\n
Thingamajig Theatre Company will present the last two performances Friday, March 13, and Saturday, March 14, at 7 p.m. at the Pagosa Springs Center for the Arts.<\/p>\n
Even if you don\u2019t usually go to plays, \u201cBakersfield Mist\u201d is the kind of show that draws people in quickly. With just two actors on stage and a story full of humor, tension and heart, it feels more like watching a fascinating conversation unfold than a traditional \u201ctheater piece.\u201d<\/p>\n
Written by Stephen Sachs, the play tells the story of Maude, an unemployed bartender living in a Bakersfield trailer park who believes she may have stumbled upon a priceless Jackson Pollock painting at a thrift store. When a New York art expert arrives to evaluate the painting, the two find themselves locked in a battle of opinions, personalities and life experiences.<\/p>\n
What begins as a simple question \u2014 \u201cIs the painting real or not?\u201d \u2014 quickly turns into a lively and sometimes hilarious debate about art, class and what something is truly worth.<\/p>\n
The show features Karisa Bruin as Maude and Dennis Elkins as Lionel, whose performances have been praised by audiences throughout the run for their humor, energy and emotional depth.<\/p>\n
With only two performances remaining, this weekend truly is the last opportunity to experience the show in Pagosa Springs.<\/p>\n
