THE MISTAKES MADELINE MADE Friday-Saturday, August 5-6 7 PM @ The Smokestack (62 E. 7th) Trainwreck Productions presents this twisted and hilarious coming-of-age story about a girl who develops Ablutophobia, the fear of bathing. Struggling with a soul-crushing job as a personal assistant, she wages a furious, funny war against all things complacent, pampered, and clean. As her smell starts to overwhelm her coworkers and many casual lovers—a series of bad poets—the play raises the questions: Is dirty living a political act and more? Admission to this unlikely story of love and dirty people is $7 (cash or check) at the door. Visit TrainwreckProductions.org. Supporting Dubuque Area Labor Management Council.
