(THEATER) Lauren Weedman and her funny, brutally self-deprecating
solo show are on loan to us for one precious weekend.
Wreckage, currently running at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in L.A., concerns an
extremely fucked-up lie Weedman told in college and its decades-long aftermath. A scorchingly funny performer who hops gracefully between dozens of characters, Weedman is one of Seattle's finest exports. You'll laugh. You'll cringe. But mostly
you'll laugh. (
Erickson Theatre off Broadway, 1524 Harvard Ave, 587-4184. Thurs–Sat at 8 pm, $5–$15.)
