Crimes of the Heart

Tackling sibling rivalry, growing old, and coming home again, 30 by Ninety Theatre will stage Crimes of the Heart this spring. Set in Hazlehurst, Mississippi, Crimes follows the Magrath sisters, who have gathered to sort out their grave yet somehow hilarious troubles. Their grandfather is living his last few hours in the hospital just in time for the youngest sister, Babe, to get out of jail on bail after having shot her husband. Meg, the middle sister, has returned home for the first time in years after a failed singing career on the West Coast to help her sisters and face her own issues from the past. Just about to celebrate her birthday, the eldest sister, Lenny, finds herself busy caring for everyone else. Despite grim circumstances facing the characters, Beth Henley's Crimes of the Heart is a heartwarming taste of the South. 8 pm Friday and Saturdays; 2:30 pm Sundays. $19; $17 for seniors (sixty five and older); $14 for students; $11 for children twelve and younger. 30byninety.com.
