"Torn"
By The Savage Gentleman
She sat on the edge
of her bed and quietly
said to herself
”There’s a storm coming”
I knew it before it
ever left her mouth.
I felt it tear in places
that can’t be mended.
Just as a the storm,
this too shall pass.

Listen to our latest episode with Lois Hicks-Wozniak on the Savage Wonder Podcast, where we interview incredibly talented musicians, artists, writers, and theater professionals, who also happen to be veterans.
Join us at the Parlor for a performance of Noel Coward’s Private Lives. Generally regarded as one of the most sophisticated, entertaining plays ever written, Private Lives is the story of Elyot and Amanda, once married and now honeymooning with new spouses at the same hotel, who meet by chance, and hilarity (as well as passion, anger, romance and aggravation) ensues. A uniquely humorous play, it has boasted numerous successful Broadway runs with stars like Coward himself, Laurence Olivier, Tallulah Bankhead, Gertrude Lawrence, Tammy Grimes, Richard Burton, and Elizabeth Taylor. The evening will open with veteran playwright Gavin Kayner's ten-minute play TWO PERSONS SINGULAR and then be followed by an intermission. Seating is limited and shows sell out fast, so get your tickets here.
