One <br /> Song, which is completely run and staffed by high-schoolers from the Chapel Hill/Carrboro <br /> area (so their full complement changes every year), has been the source of high-level drama <br /> and comedy since we first saw one of their shows three years ago. Because of prior <br /> obligations, we are unable to attend their newest offering, Mr. Marmalade, going up tonight <br /> for a three-night run at Common Ground Theatre in Durham —their usual venue. <br /> Mr. Marmalade is a creepy story of a little girl, Lucy (Lena Cohen), whose imaginary <br /> eponymous friend reflects the incredible dysfunctionalities she lives among, including her <br /> mother Sookie (Anna Zurliene), who is "neglectful and promiscuous," Emily (Jax Preyer), "a <br /> lazy slut of a babysitter," according to another reviewer, and a five-year-old boy named Larry <br /> (Harris Middlesworth), who is a suicidal thief. <br /> According to the author, Noah Haidle, "Mr. Marmalade is a savage black comedy about what <br /> it takes to grow up in these difficult times." As with the other productions that One Song has <br /> undertaken, this sounds like more than a handful of teens might be able to handle; but they <br /> have shown they have the talent and put in the effort to consistently put on highly <br /> commendable theater. <br /> Mr. Marmalade will run Thursday, March 12th, through Saturday, March 14th, at Common <br /> Ground Theatre in Durham. Tickets are suggested donation of$8 to $10 dollars. You can <br /> make your reservations now by going to the group's website, <br /> http://www.1songproductions.org/, or by e-mailing One Son at <br /> onesongreservations@gmail.com. <br />
