Arts a la Carte, at Old Brick Annex 20 E. Market Street Iowa City
A hilarious comedy that shows that life (and death) is a lot like bowling.
Jake owns the bowling alley in a small Midwestern town.
He is sitting on a hilltop where two of his three wives are buried.
Lois was zapped by lightning while carrying a bowling trophy in a thunderstorm and
Loretta was killed by a ball return machine where he comes to ruminate.
In his younger days he was a promising concert musician but a foul tip baseball
broke his fingers which subsequently healed into a perfect bowler’s grip.
Jake replays the key frames of his life and, from time to time, is visited by his
daughter Molly who has become adept at talking women into marrying her father for love and
free lane time. But who is that nattily dressed man with dark glasses and a revolver
lurking nearby?
