Reno, NV:  Bruka Theatre has replaced its previously announced “Miss Witherspoon” with Terrance McNally’s – A Perfect Ganesh.  In this enlightening piece of theatre, through humor, candor and healing, the audience is taken on the journey of a lifetime that strengthens the bonds of friendship and the human connection to the world.

THE STORY:   A Perfect Ganesh by Terrence McNally follows two American women, Margaret and Katharine, on a transformative journey to India. The play explores themes of grief, healing, and self-discovery as the women confront their personal tragedies and seek spiritual solace in the vibrant culture of India. The play’s narrative, guided by Ganesha, the Hindu god of wisdom and remover of obstacles, appears to the two women in various forms throughout their journey, offering guidance and support.   “…clearly McNally’s most important work to date. It is absorbing, moving, funny and, most of all, life-assertive, a play that defines its times while addressing its concerns.” —New York Post.  Recommended:  12 years and up.  Get your tickets early!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:  Terrence McNally was an American playwright, librettist, and screenwriter. Described as “the bard of American theater” and “one of the greatest contemporary playwrights the theater world has yet produced,” McNally was the recipient of five Tony Awards. He won the Tony Award for Best Play for Love! Valour!
