Last Call for Art: Everyday Life & Natural Disasters
A one-man show performed by Sean Patrick Judge, managing director for Nova Arts, Thom Pain follows one very pessimistic man as he struggles with everyday life. Filled with what Amy Hooper, NA founder, calls dry, definitely not laugh-out-loud humor, Thom is an odd mix of cynicism and hope. "You're rooting for him even through he's a mean kind of a bastard," she told Hair Balls.
Oh, and in case you're wondering about the show's "(based on nothing)" subtitle, that's playwright's Will Eno's effort to make sure the audience understands the material is not based on his personal experiences.
This has been Thom Pain's Houston premiere. 8 p.m. Friday, 2 p.m. Saturday. DiverseWorks, 1117 East Freeway. For information, call 800-595-4849 or visit www.novaartsproject.com. $10 to $15 (the July 4 matinee is a pay-what-you-can performance).
