CURTAIN CALL: Not your run-of-the-mill February love fests

POSTED: Tuesday, January 31, 2012, 1:00 PM

Filed Under: Arts | Philly Artists Theater

Inis Nua christens its new performance space at First Baptist Church on Tuesday with the opening of its first fully produced play of the year, Little Gem. Directed by Kathryn MacMillan, the Irish import — which won over audiences at the Dublin Fringe Festival — tells the story of three generations of Dublin women: fond-of-the-sauce daughter Amber, depressed mother Lorraine and grandmamma Kay, who is struggling with her lack of a sex life. Told through intercut monologues, the play creates an intimacy with its audience, which is all but guaranteed to reach its climax when Kay discusses her search for the right vibrator.

Feb. 7-26, $20-25, First Baptist Church, 1636 Sansom St., 215-454-9776, inisnuatheatre.org.
