You’ve got
until Valentine’s Day to catch “True West” at Beaumont Community Players. I was
on the front row in the intimate box theater and just about got splashed with
the Miller High Life characters were consuming. This is set in the ‘70s with
synthetic fibers, fern and typewriters. My family had that yellow, rotary wall
phone. Two brothers argue about stories. Scripts, as it were. It’s intense.
And, I
can’t tell you why so much toast is involved. They’re actually toasting on
stage, and the theater smells fantastic. You will want some for breakfast the
next day.
