The Minutes

Redwood Curtain Theatre presents Tracy Letts' 'The Minutes,' a dark comedy set entirely during a small-town city council meeting. Newcomer Mr. Peel presses for answers about missing meeting minutes and a council member's unexplained absence; what begins as sharp satire of petty bureaucracy builds to a sinister, shocking revelation about the town's founding. Directed by Craig Benson. Runs about 2 hours 15 minutes with one intermission. Contains sensitive themes (racial stereotypes, racial slurs, violence, reference to sexual harassment) and sensory effects (flashing/strobe lights, blackouts, theatrical fog); not recommended for anyone under high school age. Post-show talkbacks Sept 25 and Oct 4.
