What happens when five urban dwellers find their love lives, business aspirations and dark secrets intersecting? It will all be revealed in local playwright Steve Lyons' amusing "Cockroach Infestation." Fun-loving, ditzy Simone takes up with Doug, a poet obsessed with funeral performances. Jenny, a sensible woman who does her taxes on time, is engaged to Don, a sweet computer programmer who likes everyone he meets. Add Morris, a beautician for the dead, and you've got a cast of characters well versed in good timing and quirky humor. Lyons explores the dot-com days, venture capitalists and all, in this engaging comedy that's sure to make you laugh no matter how dry your stock portfolio is. Even if those days are long gone, this Three Wise Monkeys performance is something you won't want to see go.
