The Moon Theatre Company will present the drop dead funny “Dearly Departed” ^[2]Nov. 4, 5, 11 & 12 (7:30 p.m.) and Nov. 6 & 13 (2 p.m.) at the United Methodist Church (lower level stage), 820 9th St. in Berthoud.

Tickets: $10, adult, and $8 for students and seniors.

“Dearly Departed,” by David Bottrell and Jessie Jones, is a comedy about the Turpin family, which proves that living and dying in the Baptist backwoods of the Bible Belt is seldom tidy and always hilarious. The Turpins turn to their friends and neighbors for comfort, and find an eccentric community of misfits who somehow help them pull together in their hour of need. “Dearly Departed” makes fun of the behaviors, mannerisms and way of speaking of these folks. It plays with stereotypes, but the characters are so well established in the play that you may be convinced you’ve run across one or two of them in your past.
