Coming off a successful eight show run of ‘Gruesome Playground Injuries’ at the Pump House Regional Arts Center in La Crosse, Grey Area Productions has announced they will bring their show to Viroqua this weekend.
Gruesome Playground Injuries is described as a darkly comic, yet deeply poignant exploration of love, loss, and the enduring bonds of childhood. The play follows Kayleen and Doug, two souls magnetically drawn together through a series of catastrophic accidents. Their relationship is a roller-coaster of intimacy and distance, laughter and pain, as they navigate the complexities of life from the playground to adulthood.
With raw honesty and unflinching humor, Rajiv Joseph’s play delves into the messy, beautiful, and often brutal reality of human connection. As these characters repeatedly find themselves in the nurse’s office, their physical wounds mirror the emotional scars they carry. A delicate balance of comedy and tragedy, Gruesome Playground Injuries is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit. The performance lasts approximately 90 minutes with no intermission. A talk back with members of the production may be offered after select performances.
So, if you missed our La Crosse run or would love to see it again, here’s your chance to experience this raw, moving, and darkly funny story about love, pain, and human connection.
Performances will take place at the Landmark Center Theatre, 500 E. Jefferson Street in Viroqua on Friday, April 25 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday April 26 at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
