Clear Space Theatre Fall Season Performances, Downtown Rehoboth Beach

• THE SUBMISSION September 2-4 Shaleeha G'ntamobi's stirring new play about an alcoholic black mother and her card sharp son trying to get out of the projects has just been accepted into the nation's preeminent theater festival. Trouble is, Shaleeha G'ntamobi doesn't exist, except in the imagination of wannabe-playwright Danny Larsen, who created her as a kind of affirmative-action nom-de-plume. But a nom-de-guerre may prove more useful as the lies pile up, shaky alliances are forged, and everyone dear to Danny must decide whether or not to run for cover as the whole thing threatens to blow up in his lily white face. Directed by and starring KAREN RICHARDS (Clear Space credits: SISTER ACT, GHOST) THE SUBMISSION is a raw, unsentimental play about race and gender that exposes the quiet prejudice and intolerance among even our most progressive thinkers. It is both uncomfortable and impossible to not watch.
• CLEAR SPACE 2022 GALA A Grand Night for Singing  September 11, 2022 6-9 PM Rehoboth Beach Country Club   A Fundraiser for Live Theatre at the Beach  Tickets $195, Sponsorships available
• OTHER DESERT CITIES September 15-25Brooke Wyeth returns home to Palm Springs after a six-year absence to celebrate Christmas with her parents, her brother, and her aunt. Brooke announces that she is about to publish a memoir dredging up a pivotal and tragic event in the family’s history—a wound they don’t want reopened. In effect, she draws a line in the sand and dares them all to cross it. “In his most fully realized play to date, Mr. Baitz makes sure our sympathies keep shifting among the members of the wounded family. Every one of them emerges as selfish, loving, cruel, compassionate, irritating, charming and just possibly heroic… leaves you feeling both moved and gratifyingly sated.”
• LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS October 14-30The deviously delicious Broadway and Hollywood sci-fi smash musical has devoured the hearts of theatre-goers for over 30 years. The meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn stumbles across a new breed of plant he names "Audrey II" - after his coworker crush. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down and out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it, BLOOD. Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II's out of this world origins and intent towards global domination! We implore you: DON’T FEED THE PLANTS!
• THE LITTLE MERMAID November 11,12,& 13 Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen's most beloved stories and the classic animated Disney film this musical is a hauntingly beautiful story of Ariel, who wishes to be with Prince Eric in the world above, bargaining with sea witch, Ursula, to trade her tail for legs. But the bargain is not what it seems, and Ariel needs the help of her colorful friends to restore order under the sea. This fishy fable includes the irresistible songs "Under the Sea," "Kiss the Girl" and "Part of Your World.” Presented by our Spotlight on Young Performers.
• ELF November 25-December 18 Based on the cherished 2003 New Line Cinema hit, ELF bring us Buddy, a young orphan, mistakenly crawls into Santa's bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. The would-be elf is raised, unaware that he is actually a human until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa's permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. Faced with the harsh realities that his father is on the naughty list and his half-brother doesn't even believe in Santa, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas.View their website at https://www.clearspacetheatre.org/
