NORRIS THEATRE OPENS TAX SEASON WITH COMEDY, 'LOVE, SEX AND THE IRS' : Friday, January 23, 2015 - Saturday, January 24, 2015 - 8 p.m.
Presented By: Norris Center for the Performing Arts

Palos Verdes Performing Arts presents the hilarious tax-evading comedy, Love, Sex and the I.R.S. January 23 – February 8 at the Norris Theatre. The zany, fast-paced farce about a pair of bumbling tax cheats is filled with wild plot twists, lightning-quick sight gags, and a concoction of mistaken identities that rivals Shakespeare.

The screwball comedy, which  is like a cross between “I Love Lucy,” “Some Like it Hot,” and the sitcoms of the ‘70s, such as “Three’s Company,” follows two heterosexual men, Jon and Leslie, who share an apartment in New York. To save money, Jon has been filing tax returns listing his roommate, Leslie, as his wife. The day of reckoning comes when the I.R.S. informs the “couple” that they are being investigated.  With the help of his fiancée, Jon dresses Leslie up to masquerade as his wife. Complicating matters further, Jon's mother unexpectedly drops in to meet her son's fiancée, and Leslie's girlfriend shows up demanding to know why he won't see her anymore. Add one unscrupulously nosy landlord to the bunch, and things quickly spiral into side-splitting confusion and chaos.

Performances of “Love, Sex and the I.R.S” are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets are $45-$55 and $25 for ages 17 and under. For more information or to purchase tickets call the box office at (310) 544-0403, ext. 221, or www.palosverdesperformingarts.com.
