"God of Carnage" opens on Pullman stage

Regional Theatre of the Palouse presents “God of Carnage,” a comedic production that addresses issues of classism, sexism and racism. Based on the book by Yasmina Reza, the play features two sets of parents in modern day Brooklyn who meet to discuss a playground incident between their sons. What begins with polite exchanges devolves into heated words and chaos. Humorous and thought-provoking, “God of Carnage” won the Tony Award for Best Play in 2009.

Showtimes: 8 p.m. Friday, Saturday and May 10-12; Regional Theatre of the Palouse, 122 N. Grand Ave., Pullman; $12 to $20, (509) 334-0750 and rtoptheatre.org
