'Outdoing The Jones's' at the Creative Artists Laboratory

Creative Artists Laboratory opens its ninth season with the world premiere of Outdoing The Jones's, written by the companies artistic director Tanya Klein.

The play opens at the Creative Artists Laboratory on the 7 Apr 2005, following previews from the 4 Apr. The show is scheduled to close on the 30 Apr 2005.

Outdoing The Jones's depicts a world in which achievement is measured by the largeness of your house, happiness by the size of your bank account, and success by the amount of possessions you own. In other words, our very own world," says Ms. Klein. "This play takes on the choices we have made as a society through the prism of the choices made by the prototypical suburban couple. Sandra and John are caught up in the rat race of acquiring the newest must-have items. When John loses his job, he forces Sandra to choose between their house and their unborn child."
