Adapted and directed by Ruth S. McCleskey from Oscar Wilde's An Ideal Husband .
Join BPP for authentic, fun and female-driven theatre! There's nothing better than good, live theatre. We know. We've sat in the audience and performed in great theatre that has left us moved, entertained and inspired. And these magical experiences — both in the audience and on stage — motivated us to create Boiling Point Players.
Boiling Point Players is committed to creating theatrical moments that inspire you the way we've been inspired. We want our theatre to bubble, sizzle, and broaden the definition of what constitutes a night out at the theatre. And most of all, we want to create more opportunities for women to take the stage!
