Close Encounters of the Hairy Kind, written and directed by local playwright Monica Lorenz-Dwyer, is a story set around a campfire conference where a group of diverse people share their stories of Bigfoot sightings in the hopes of establishing a sanctuary for the species. But someone in their group has a far more dangerous idea. With deals being brokered, a mysterious wanted poster going around, and something watching them from the shadows, stories around the campfire will get a lot more sinister than excuses for s’mores. After all, seeing is believing, right? at CLOTA Center Stage (1425 N. Inyo St.). Close Encounters of the Hairy Kind will be performed on March 3, 4, 10, 11, 17 and 18, 2023 at 7:30 p.m. at CLOTA Center Stage with a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, March 12.
