Texas-born writer, director, producer and actor Del Shores will
once again bring his own brand of Southern humor to town when his new one-man show takes the stage at Terrific New Theatre. The May 18th show sold out so quickly that Del agreed to come to Birmingham a day early and TNT is adding a THURSDAY, May 17th show!! After the performance, the TNT audience will be treated to a meet-and-greet with the star.

Written by Shores, Six Characters in Search of a Play introduces audiences to half a dozen characters inspired by Shores’ real-life encounters that haven’t quite made it into one of his plays, films or TV shows. The playwright was inspired by Luigi Pirandello’s classic 1921 play, Six Characters in Search of an Author. Shores’ production is directed by longtime collaborator Emerson Collins, who is also an accomplished actor and producer.

In 90 minutes, TNT’s audience will hear the truth behind how Shores – the creative force behind such cult classics as Sordid Lives and Southern Baptist Sissies – collected these eccentric characters, as the deft actor portrays them in his trademark monologue style.
