“You're invited to a party that’s full of surprises,” according to press notes. “Careful plans are upended when a mother brings her own food to her daughter's party—and also the ’right’ person to be her daughter's new best friend. They put on their ’party faces’ and hope for the best—but when facades crack, secrets spill…and laughter roars as their revelry leads to revelations.”
The production will also have set design by Jeff Ridenour, lighting design by Joyce Liao, costume designs by Michael Blatzer, sound design by Damien Figueras, and casting by Pat McCorkle, CSA, McCorkle Casting, Ltd. Brierpatch Productions serves as general management.
Party Face is currently touring Ireland under its original title Boom?, starring playwright Mahon.
Producers are Robert Driemeyer, Morgan Sills, and Jan Warner.
