Latitude 41 presents the wild farce, LOVE, SEX, AND THE I.R.S., written by William Van Zandt and Jane Milmore, and directed by Devon Ford.
Jon Trachtman and Leslie Arthur are out of work musicians who room together in New York City. To save money, Jon (played by Luke Pascale) has been filing tax returns listing the pair as married. The day of reckoning comes when the Internal Revenue Service informs the “couple” they’re going to be investigated by a Mr. Spinner (Tom Schmitt). Leslie (Topher Gleason) masquerades as a housewife, aided by Jon’s fiancee, Kate (Stephanie Maldonado). Complicating matters further Leslie and Kate are having an affair behind Jon’s back. Jon’s mother Vivian (Renae Kairis) drops in unexpectedly to meet her son’s fiancee, and Leslie’s ex-girlfriend, Connie (Karianne Dugard) shows up demanding to know why Leslie has changed and won’t see her anymore. Ted Holste and Domineik Durham round out the cast as they all tumble through twists of fate, sight gags, mistaken identities and hilarious comic lines. Jeff Matson is the Assistant Director, and Caitlin Matson is the Stage Manager.
