Welcome back, Fishy Woo Woos!
Monteze Freeland’s Fishy Woo Woo, Part 2 made its deliriously delectable debut at Pittsburgh Playwrights Theatre Company this weekend, more than two years after the original. Back are the four core characters, with two OG actors (Mils “MJ” James as Cordero and Cheryl Bates-White as Char), in a spooky Halloween mystery and secrets galore to feast on.
The witty and wise script contains so many rapid-fire references to pop culture, queer icons, and inside jokes (one, in particular, about the Pittsburgh theater scene), that you may not catch them all. In such cases, I take Noel Coward’s advice: “Never mind, dear. We’re all made the same, though some more than others.”
Dedicated to connecting the diverse community of theater-makers and theater-goers in the Greater Pittsburgh area
