WHO: Ally Ibach
WHAT: Midnight Cowboy Radio
WHERE: Actors Company (The Little Theater), 916 N. Formosa Ave.
WHY: What happens when a conservative late-night radio host in an abusive relationship finds herself pregnant? Writer/performer Ally Ibach’s Kentuckian DJ bounces hyperactively between playing the same song in different versions, Instagram selfies with loads of props, and humorously doling out bad advice to callers, all while using off-air breaks to call Planned Parenthood and schedule an illegal abortion. Ibach doesn’t flinch as she pushes the audience further into discomfort with each reveal. The stakes are real and the gap between what her character preaches and what she does is the whole point. This solo show is a mirror of the times.
