“The Sore Loser” An Original Comedy by Hermitage Major Theater Award Winner Madeleine George, Monday, December 9, 5pm: Following a successful presentation in New York, the Hermitage is excited to invite Gulf Coast audiences to experience the first regional showing of The Sore Loser, the new commission from Madeleine George, directed by Mack Brown. A Faustian comedy set in a bowling alley, this story promises to bring the competitor (and the laughs) out of us all. The Sore Loser is a comedy about power, domination, and the death of the patriarchy… as told through a small-town bowling tournament. Presented in partnership with Venice Theatre. The Hermitage Major Theater Award is made possible with generous support from Flora Major and the Kutya Major Foundation. Registration is required at HermitageArtistRetreat.org ($5/person registration fee). Venice Theatre, 140 Tampa Avenue West, Venice, FL 34285
