Booger Red

Oct. 17 - Oct. 19
Thursday-Saturday
Booger Red survives a rough childhood to become a renowned Hellfire and Brimstone Southern Baptist preacher. How can Preacher's Kid Jimmy find a way out from under Booger Red's larger-than-life shadow as he grows up and finds his own voice? If you've ever had a dream or a daddy, Loucks' gritty and passionate solo performance is for you.
A rollicking show of storytelling and music in the American South, Booger Red is loosely based on stories from Loucks’ childhood. It is the story of someone finding their own unique voice, resisting the pressures of society’s ideas of who they should be, and forging their own way.
Solo performer and playwright Jim Loucks grew up in South Georgia as the son of a Hellfire and Brimstone Southern Baptist preacher, also known as a Preacher’s Kid or PK. After earning his MFA in Acting at the University of Georgia, Jim moved to Los Angeles where he has appeared in several plays and independent films. He has performed his solo shows Cemetery Golf, The Biscuiteater and Booger Redat theatres and festivals around the US and Canada, winning awards for "Best Solo Show" at Tucson Fringe for The Biscuiteater and at Houston Fringe for Booger Red. Booger Red was developed as part of an Artist Residency with Mahr Park Arboretum and the City of Madisonville, KY and premiered at their Bacon, Blues and Big Stories Festival. Jim currently resides in Venice, CA with his wife, producer/artist Deb and their yellow lab Joe.
