Monogamy takes quite a hit in Different Animals, a new romantic comedy written by and starring Abby Rosebrock. Jessica Tarver (Cesa Pledger) is an unhappy Spartanburg, South Carolina, woman whose life has turned out to be not quite what she hoped for. While searching for spiritual contentment in a suburban landscape dominated by churches and chain restaurants, she cheats on her much older husband (Dirk Keysser), who is looking for his own kind of satisfaction and fulfillment, so he invites a coworker to join him and his wife in bed. But that coworker, Molly Gardner (South Carolina native Rosebrock), is not exactly a stable person herself, leading to all kinds of complex entanglements. The Wednesday Repertory Company production is produced and directed by Bruce Ornstein (Vamperifica, Jack and His Friends) and also features Brady Kirchberg, Sienna Sternick, and Maria Panoski.
