By Michael GotchDirected by Mark LamosJAN. 16 FEB. 2After last seasons wildly successful Minor Fantastical Kingdoms, Michael Gotch returns with a darker look at middle America. In a withering Midwest town, Karen Jameswife, mother, and breadwinner has enough venison chili to survive the approaching winter but is being pushed to the edge by her husbands work injury and her sons misbehavior. A visit from a stranger promises relief, but only if Karen and her family can survive secrets from the past and the buried conflicts they reveal. A finalist in the Ashland New Play Festival's 2019 competition, Starter Pistol is a roller coaster ride of tension and laughter, a story of a family holding themselves together in the toughest of times while just trying to make it to the big Friday Night MegaBall drawing. Contains adult language and situations.

Readers. This article below appeared in UD Daily. As a theatre critic for the past 35 years, I have had the singular privilege of attending perhaps 90% of the productions since 2008 at The Roselle Center. UD Rep Ensemble's quality in both onstage and technical aspects rivals and contends with ANY professional company in America.
