In a Nutshell

Creator of I Still Love H.E.R. returns to the Viaduct for a solo takedown of everything, raising questions on healthcare in the process

The Fine Print

The immediacy of theater emotionally involves audiences in a way matched only by interactive performance art and paintings of disapproving fathers. Achieve catharsis with this GrouponLive deal to see Wendell Tucker Hates the World, presented by Theori Stages at the Viaduct Theater. For $25, you get two general-admission tickets (up to a $47 value, including all fees). All shows begin at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6 p.m. Choose from the following dates:

  • Thursday, October 11
  • Friday, October 12
  • Saturday, October 13
  • Sunday, October 14
  • Thursday, October 18
  • Friday, October 19
  • Saturday, October 20
  • Sunday, October 21

On the heels of the seven-year run of I Still Love H.E.R. (atributetohiphop), playwright Wendell Tucker takes to the Viaduct stage once more, this time for his own one-man show, Wendell Tucker Hates the World. Based on his experiences as an African American with Major Depressive Disorder, the one-hour onslaught tears a path through the lengthy list of things Wendell despises, including dating, pop culture, and current healthcare policies. The comedic massacre even reaches to such innocuous things as jello. But just beneath the surface a question begins to form: is Wendell just a bitter crank, or does his hate stem from something more pervasive?

Viaduct Theater

The Viaduct Theater's intimate environs encourage audiences to engage with the show, though viewers in the front rows may find themselves splattered with raw vitriol. Before and after the play, crowd members can order a beer from the onsite bar and admire the vintage theater and concert posters plastering the lobby walls (drinks not included with this Groupon).

  • "Make Seven, Up Yours." – Smith Brad, 7e7en (1995)
