Ten Cent Night
Hewitt Finley, who wrote the country song "Ten Cent Night," committed suicide. Those who knew him can't decide which — the song or the suicide — was the best thing he ever did. His children reunite, in Marisa Wegrzyn's offbeat comedy, and dysfunction reigns. Sometimes in the longish script as well, since her plotting tends to run away from her. The Moxie production, directed by Delicia Turner Sonnenberg, fleshes out sketchy roles where they can. As do Jennifer Brawn Gitting's precise, often hilarious costumes. Karson St. John, a Craig Noel Award winner who recently played the emcee in Cygnet's Cabaret is pitch-perfect as Roby Finley (who's following in her father's footsteps as a singer and "hat puking" drunk). Sad as a country lament, Roby wants to do the right thing, for once, even though the universe conspires against her. Think it's just paranoia? Then explain how she got handcuffed to a folding chair!
Worth a try.
