This 1960’s French farce adapted for the English-speaking stage features self-styled Parisian lothario Bernard, who has Italian, German, and American fiancees, each a beautiful airline hostess with frequent “layovers.” He keeps “one up, one down, and one pending” until unexpected schedule changes bring all three to Paris, and Bernard’s apartment at the same time.

Back by popular demand, Ruthless! is returning to the stage to give more people the opportunity to see this insane show!

Tickets are $18 dollars. Please call 219-852-0848 for reservations or find our event on brownpapertickets.com

Ruthless is the story of a naive 1950s housewife, Judy, and her adorable (but sociopathic) 8-year-old daughter, Tina. Encouraged by her manager, Sylvia, Tina will do ANYTHING to get the lead role in her school play, maybe even murder…

Rated PG-13 for language, crude humor, and implied violence. Young children are not recommended to attend.
