Love, Sex and the IRS at Norris Center for the Performing Arts

The play follows two heterosexual men, Jon and Leslie, who share an apartment in New York. To save money, Jon has been filing tax returns listing his roommate, Leslie, as his wife. The day of reckoning comes when the I.R.S. informs the "couple" that they are being investigated. With the help of his fiancée - Kate, Jon dresses Leslie up to masquerade as his wife. Complicating matters further, Jon's mother unexpectedly drops in to meet her son's fiancée, and Leslie's girlfriend shows up demanding to know why he won't see her anymore. Add one unscrupulously nosy landlord to the bunch, and things quickly spiral into side-splitting confusion and chaos. "The screwball comedy of ‘Love, Sex and the I.R.S.' is like a cross between ‘I Love Lucy,' ‘Some Like it Hot,' and the sitcoms of the ‘70s, such as ‘Three's Company,' said James Gruessing, artistic director at Palos Verdes Performing Arts. "With a name that includes three of the most disastrous entanglements known to man, this classic farce guarantees lots of laughs. It is the perfect antidote to the stress of tax season."
