The Dirt

Acme Theatre Company’s “the k of d: an urban legend”

This winter, Acme Theatre Company is producing “the k of d: an urban legend,” a tale of revenge and grief with a side of dark comedy.

Written by Laura Schellhardt and directed by Jennifer Grace, this production weaves myth and reality, following a pack of teenagers in small-town Ohio trying to make sense of a local boy’s death.

This production is supported, in part, by a grant from the City of Davis Arts & Cultural Affairs program, and by the California Arts Council, a state agency.  Learn more at www.arts.ca.gov.

Acme Theatre Company is a youth-led non-profit theatre company founded by Dave Burmester, a Davis High English teacher, and a group of local students. 

Warning: this production includes some explicit language and some occasional casual cruelty, including use of the words “retarded” and “cripple.”  

*Masks will be required for all audience members at matinee performances.
