‘Sordid Lives’ play dates, times and ticket info
Play: Sordid Lives
Playwright: Del Shores
Synopsis: Set in a small town in Texas, a family gathers to deal with the death of their elderly matriarch. Their grief is made all the more difficult because the details of her demise are sure to cause embarrassment. However, the family members themselves give reason enough for embarrassment, as we see them at both their best and their worst (think big hair, lots of booze, cheating, revenge, cross-dressing and guns)! Loosely based on the playwright’s own life, this is an over-the-top black comedy about white trash … and what it means to be yourself.

He is in the final stages of completing his debut novel titled "Art Detective," a story that fictionalizes the discovery of the fabled billion-dollar Impressionist collection of Parisian art dealer Josse Bernheim-Jeune, thought by many to have perished during World War II when the collection's hiding place, Castle de Rastignac in southern France, was destroyed by the Wehrmacht in reprisal for attacks made by members of the Resistance operating in the area. A former tax attorney, Tom holds a bachelor's degree as well as both a juris doctorate and masters of laws in taxation from the University of Florida.
