Phoenix Creative Collective presents “Dearly Departed”
Dearly Departed
WHEN: August 8, 9, 15, and 16 @ 7:30pm; August 10 and 17 @ 2pm
WHERE: The MAC Black Box Theater | 645 W. Main Street, Merced
WHAT: A dysfunctional Southern family comes together to plan a funeral in this character-driven ensemble comedy. When the Turpin family patriarch Bud suddenly dies of a stroke, his sons Ray-Bud and Junior, sister Marguerite, and widow Raynelle do their best to ensure a dignified memorial, but familial squabbles quickly get in the way. Junior’s wife Suzanne (correctly) accuses him of infidelity, a resentful Ray-Bud drinks to deal with his resentment over footing the bill for a service being handled by the funeral home of his arch rival, and Raynelle seems more concerned with ensuring that Bud’s legacy as “mean and surly” is quite literally carved in stone. Dearly Departed is a side-splitting ensemble comedy that’s at once a parody of and a love letter to life in the Deep South. Directed by Corey Strauss. Produced by Phoenix Created Collective.

Falsettos
WHEN: May 30 & 31 at 7:30PM and June 1 at 2:00PM. Doors open 30 min. prior to showtime. Pride Month Kickoff Reception after the show on Sunday, June 1
WHERE: Merced Multicultural Arts Center | Black Box Theater
WHAT: Falsettos, presented by Accessible Arts Merced, is a critically acclaimed musical that explores themes of love, identity, and family in unconventional and powerful ways. The show made its Broadway debut in 1992, combining two earlier one-act musicals: March of the Falsettos (1981) and Falsettoland (1990).
Set in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Falsettos centers on Marvin, who has left his wife to be with a male lover, Whizzer, and struggles to keep his family together. The show broke new ground by addressing complex issues such as divorce, same-sex relationships, and the AIDS crisis, all through the lens of a tight-knit Jewish family in New York. The musical is known for its emotional depth, humor, and unforgettable characters, making it both a time capsule of its era and a timeless exploration of human connection. It continues to resonate with audiences today for its portrayal of non-traditional families, their struggles, and the love that binds them together.

WHERE: The MAC Black Box Theater | 645 W. Main Street, Merced
WHAT: In a remote cottage just outside the exclusion zone, two retired physicists live quietly in the aftermath of a nuclear accident at the local power plant. But when a former colleague arrives unexpectedly, not only will they confront dark secrets from the past, but they will also have to confront the true cost of survival. Should they stay sheltered, or are they responsible for the young scientists who will otherwise die at the power plant?

Lucy Kirkwood’s thrilling play, The Children, explores the ethics of intergenerational accountability. Do we owe anything to future generations?
