Columbia Entertainment Company Presents: Sordid Lives 🏙️


  • 1800 Nelwood Drive Columbia, MO, 65202 United States (map)

Sponsor: Columbia Entertainment Company

The author of Daddy’s Dyin’ (Who’s Got the Will?) brings you a comedy that was nominated for over 30 awards during its long run in Los Angeles.

When Peggy, a good Christian woman, hits her head on the sink and bleeds to death after tripping over her lover’s wooden legs in a motel room, chaos erupts in Winters, Texas. As the dysfunctional family gathers for her funeral, each person must confront the sordid secrets in their own lives.

“[This play by] the master of Texas Comedy… is maybe funnier than Daddy’s Dyin’. His colorful eccentrics are dead on, teetering on a Bowie knife’s edge between the hilarious improbable and the achingly real.” – The Los Angeles Times
