Ensemble Stage Presents: A Red Plaid Shirt
Two recently retired men seek purpose for the new stage of their lives in this hilarious and touching comedy.
Marty chooses to explore the open road on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, while Fred decides to pay more attention to his health, inventing many new ailments along the way. With a little “subtle redirection” from their wives and a creative solution to an unusual problem (which may or may not include a homemade coffin), hopefully they find the right track.
The play is part of Ensemble Stage’s 2025 Mainstage Season. It can also be enjoyed as part of Banner Elk’s theater packages that include one or two nights of lodging, two show tickets, discount dining and breakfast the next morning.
