Cowboys Are My Weakness @ WICA October 9-25

Whidbey Island Center for the Arts (WICA) is thrilled to support Seattle’s Book-It Repertory Theatre in their comeback by presenting a Book-It show here on Whidbey, directed by Book-It’s Artistic Director Myra Platt. Cowboys Are My Weakness became a hit theater production in Seattle in 1999 where it was originally produced by Book-It Repertory Theatre and performed at the Seattle Rep’s Poncho Theater. Myra Platt’s “pitch perfect” (The Seattle Times) adaptation includes four of Pam Houston’s short stories tied together with a live music score (originally composed and performed by the music duo Edd Key and Theresa Holmes).

“How to Talk to a Hunter” offers advice on loving a man who shares more intimacies with his stuffed deer head than his girlfriend. “Selway” is a white-knuckle river raft ride through the dangerous waters of both the Selway River and a new romance. “For Bo” is a light-hearted look at the author’s greatest love: dogs. The title story, “Cowboys Are My Weakness” explores life with and without those mythical men of the west. Tied together with music directed by the original music duo, Edd Key and Theresa Holmes.
