ALoFT Productions presents Bad Habits by Terrence McNally

ALoFT Productions presents the Obie Award-winning one-act plays, "Bad Habits" by Terrence McNally, August 2 - 25 at the 73rd Avenue Playhouse.

"Terrence McNally gets funnier and funnier. His "Bad Habits" is a twin bill and it's funny enough for two theatres." —NY Daily News.

In Dunelawn, we are in an expensive retreat for the unhappily married, where the wheel-chaired director, Dr. Pepper, dispenses a definitely unique sort of marital guidance. His theory includes complete indulgence in such "bad habits" as smoking, drinking and sexual promiscuity—which seems to work wonders for his patients, whose wacky case histories are each examined in hilarious detail. For Ravenswood the approach is quite the opposite. Here the saintly Dr. Toynbee injects his straitjacketed charges with tranquilizing drugs to calm such urges—but again the catalogue of aberrations revealed in his patients is subjected to close, and enormously funny, scrutiny.
