Fuddy Meers, at Albany Civic Theater
Albany Civic Theater is excited to present Fuddy Meers, written by David Lindsey-Abaire and directed by Teresa Storti. The play opens Friday, December 5 (preview, pay what you will night 12/4), and runs for 3 weekends. Fri-Sat@7:30 and Sun@3:00 through December 21, 2025.
Fuddy Meers is a dark comedy in which the central character, Claire, has a rare form of psychogenic amnesia that erases her memory whenever she goes to sleep. Every morning, she wakes up with a blank slate. Every morning her chipper husband shows her a book containing essential information to start her day. This morning, after he leaves the room, a limping, lisping, half blind, half deaf man in a ski mask pops out from under her bed. He claims to be her brother and here to save her, and she’s hustled off to the country home of her mother, a recent stroke victim whose speech has been reduced to gibberish. The journey becomes more complicated when even more quirky friends, family, and complete strangers enter the scene, including a foul-mouthed puppet.
Friday and Saturday evenings, 12/5, 6, 12, 13, 19, and 20 at 7:30.
Sunday afternoons, 12/7, 14, and 21 at 3:00.
