Whether it's a dive bar or a "rustic find", you will not want to miss out on the brilliant world of "It's Dead in Here on Tuesdays." From midwest life to the after-life, Brent Alles skillfully takes us on a journey of hilarity and reflection by way of a clairvoyant MI bartender and a fun cast of the non-living. Well-balanced laughter with contemplation will keep audiences engaged from start to finish.

After a snowboarding accident in a Michigan blizzard, David makes his way to a tavern presided over by a clairvoyant bartender and occupied, despite the weather, by a quirky group of friendly regulars. He slowly realizes that "it's dead in here on Tuesdays" is to be taken literally, and the tavern is a sort of purgatory where everyone, including himself, is awaiting the next step in their afterlife journeys. In this enjoyable short play, Alles has given us characters with depth and heart.

This play starts out as the ultimate character study of rural Michigan and then suddenly it becomes a spiritual journey about the afterlife and faith. I love the world building here and the roles of the Szubinski Brothers are a great place to show off some stage combat and comic relief!
