Nothing says a great time like waking up in bed with a guy you can't remember from your night out at Hooters. Unfortunately for Felicia, the protagonist of Why Torture Is Wrong and the People Who Love Them, this little mishap becomes much more serious when she realizes she married a guy who may or may not have drugged her and had a porno-making minister lead the procession. In his latest comedy, Christopher Durang explores the gritty, bombastic nature of modern American culture as Felicia brings her new husband Zemir home to meet the parents. In what could be described as a darker Meet the Parents, Felicity will discover just how her new husband's questionable "Irish temper" will mesh with her unquestionably odd parents. Plots will be hatched, mysteries will be revealed and Zemir may end up getting more than he bargained for. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, 8 p.m. Fridays, 8 p.m. Saturdays and 2:30 p.m. Sundays through April 10 at Theatre Three, 2800 Routh St., Suite 168. Tickets are $20 to $30. Call 214-871-3300 or visit theatre3dallas.com.
Fridays, Saturdays, 8 p.m.; Sundays, 2:30 p.m.; Thursdays, 7:30 p.m. Starts: March 12. Continues through April 10, 2011
