Ruby, erstwhile burlesque queen, wants her funeral before she dies. So she'll see her extended family for the last time at the Hummingbird Hotel. These include strippers, prostitutes, drug addicts, poets, and ex-lovers Krista and Bait Boy, who has made it -- or has it made -- in Atlanta with a "sugar mama." Lisa L'Amour's sprawling play documents the lives of the denizens in ways no sociological labels can. Though, unlike her more subtle Detroit, here she resorts to a take-home interpretation for the audience. The at times uneven Ion Theatre production has a splended set, by Claudio Rayboza, and strong performances by Dana Fares, Kevane La'Marr Coleman, and Beverly Baker. Worth a try.
