================

Inspired by true events, “Bakersfield Mist,” is a hilarious comedy/drama written by award-winning playwright Stephen Sachs that follows Maude Gutman, an unemployed bartender, and art expert Lionel Percy, as they begin to question the true definition of art and the authenticity of people.

“This play is the perfect comedy for our community, which is home to so many talented visual artists and art fans who love and follow their work,” Fisher said. “I think audiences will appreciate how this play challenges the basis of one’s perspective and shows how the brush strokes of trials and tribulations create the canvas of one’s life.”

The two-member cast features two local talents: Bruce Collier and Teance Blackburn.

“Bakersfield Mist” performances run approximately 80 minutes with no intermission. The show contains some profanity and should be considered PG 13. Doors open 30 minutes prior to performance time.

Tickets are $25 for adults, $20 for seniors, and $15 for students. Not recommended for children under 5. To purchase tickets or make a tax-deductible donation, visit emeraldcoasttheatre.org or call (850) 684-0323.
