Hard Luck Sings the Blues by Jay Huling. “Hard Luck Sings the Blues” is about a comic character in search of his Creator . . . the Playwright. It’s a two-act self-conscious comedy about a self-conscious guy who will do anything to win the woman of his dreams. He seeks counsel from a mail-order minister who’s written more than 1,200 how-to books — everything from “How to Reach Spiritual Perfection” to “How to Fix Kitchens and Baths.” He hires a woman from an escort service to help him “practice” for a big date. He fasts for three days and three nights to get the Creator to answer his prayer. And as he struggles with his faith, he wonders why the Playwright puts so many obstacles in his way; why can’t he simply win the girl and go home? In the end, he learns about life, love . . . and about himself. Show dates: October 5, 11, 12, 19, 20, November 1, 2, 9, 15 & 16.
