“Fuddy Meers”: PTD Productions
Every Wed.–Sun., Aug. 15–24. Local actors perform David Lindsay-Abaire’s 1999 Off-Broadway comedy hit about an extreme identity crisis. The story concerns a mild-mannered woman with amnesia so thorough she wakes up every morning unable to remember even the previous day, so that her world is a virtual hall of funhouse mirrors—“fuddy meers,” as her aphasic mother calls them—where nothing is quite as it seems. The comedy and poignancy of the situation are deepened by the fact that the people in her life—from her profane mother (a stroke victim) to a mad ex-convict whose only confidante is a hand puppet named Binky—are themselves more than a little off-kilter. 7:30 p.m. (Thurs.–Sat.) & 2 p.m. (Sun. & Wed.), Riverside Arts Center, 76 N. Huron St., Ypsilanti. Tickets $20 (students & seniors, $15) in advance at ptdproductions.com and at the door. (734) 483–7345.
