Bare Stage
Bare Stage Theatre’s “God Of Carnage” by Yasmina Reza is a dark comedy in which a playground altercation between two 11-year-old boys brings together two sets of parents for a meeting to resolve the matter. At first, diplomatic niceties are observed, but as the meeting progresses – and the rum flows – tensions emerge and the gloves come off, leaving the couples with more than just their liberal principles in tatters. “God of Carnage” dives into the deep end of parenthood and makes poignant observations on the fragile nature of civility. Sharon Jarvis directs Debra Bowers, Donna Burroughs, Mark Donaldson and Brian Kaulback. Show dates are Friday, Saturday and Sunday, March 28 to 30. Tickets are 300 pesos Saturday and Sunday and 200 pesos on Friday. Reservations at This email address is being protected from spambots.
