Desperate Housewares in the BCTimes

On the day of our Beaver County premiere of "Desperate Housewares," the Cellar Dwellers got a very nice write-up in the Beaver County Times Weekender. It was accompanied by a lovely cast picture (see below). So check out this cool article, and then make plans to see a show. Trust me, it's always worth it.

CENTER TWP. - Forget about Eva Longoria of "Desperate Housewives" prancing around in her panties.

Hmmm. That's not so easy to forget once you start imaging it.

But forget about that for a minute, and focus on the Cellar Dwellers, those mirth-making pop-culture connoisseurs who this weekend present their latest comedy extravaganza: "Desperate Housewares: Or the Dish Ran Away With the Spoon."

Just like that hit ABC show, the Cellar Dwellers intend to captivate their audiences beginning at 8 tonight at the Community College of Beaver County Allied Health Auditorium in Center Township. The local comedy troupe's next show, at 8 p.m. Saturday, takes place at the Bagpiper Theater at Geneva College, Beaver Falls.

Tickets are $5 with information available at (724) 462-4651.

In typical rapid-fire fashion, the Cellar Dwellers will present a dozen zany skits in "Desperate Housewares," tackling the major issues of the day, such as lazy superheroes and robot girlfriends. One skit revolves around a courtroom showdown between a pro wrestler and a nerdy webmaster; another skit wonders what would happen if a frat house adopted a Third World child.

The second hour of the show is unscripted theater improv, similar to the crowd-pleasing, gonzo performance Cellar Dwellers members delivered at the 12:15 a.m. May 19 screening of "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith" at Cinemark Theatre in Center Township.

Along with this weekend's two Beaver County shows, the Cellar Dwellers travel north next weekend for a June 4 show at the New Castle Playhouse Annex Theater in New Castle.
