Lips Together, Teeth Apart

Bart DeLorenzo directs two-time Emmy Award winner Kristen Johnston (3rd Rock from the Sun) and Steven Weber (Wings) when L.A. Theatre works records Terrence McNally's sizzling comedy at UCLA's James Bridges Theater. In a Fire Island beach house, a brother and sister and their respective spouses gather to celebrate the Fourth of July. With food, cocktails, fireworks and stinging barbs, they fortify themselves against their individual anxieties—and their gay neighbors partying in the houses on either side. The New York Times called Lips Together, Teeth Apart, “a work with real teeth and equally penetrating compassion.” Contains adult content and language. All performances will be recorded in front of a live audience to air on L.A. Theatre Works' syndicated radio theater series, which broadcasts weekly on public radio stations nationwide and can be streamed on demand at www.latw.org.
