Dearly Departed with the Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe

Dearly Departed

By David Bottrell and Jessie Jones

April 19 through May 27, 2017

You’ll “die laughing” in this delightful and heartwarming comedy about the dysfunctional Turpins who gather in their rural Southern home for the patriarch’s funeral. The family’s laugh-out-loud, zany antics may remind you of people you know, but are, hopefully, not your relatives. As replicated in the 2001 film version, Kingdom Come, starring Whoopi Goldberg and LL Cool J, family situations are seldom tidy, but often extremely funny.
