SOUTH PORTLAND — Mad Horse Theatre Company will present the second production of its 30th-anniversary Season – “Trevor” – a play that is sure to warm up those cold January nights.

“Trevor” runs Jan. 14 through Jan. 31 at the Mad Horse Theater in the historic Hutchins School, 24 Mosher St.

Inspired by true events, “Trevor”, by Nick Jones, is a subversive comedy about fame, success, and the lies we tell ourselves in order to keep people from taking away our erratic, 200-pound chimpanzee.

At the center of this hilarious and heart-wrenching play are two individuals fighting against a world unable to understand their love: Trevor, a chimpanzee who once performed in commercials with the likes of Morgan Fairchild, and his owner, Sandra, who swears Trevor would never hurt a fly … at least not on purpose. “Trevor” is a moving exploration of family, flawed communication, and humanity.

The cast of “Trevor” includes Mad Horse Company Members Brent Askari, Burke Brimmer, Shannon Campbell, Allison McCall, and Mark Rubin, along with guest artists Grace Bauer and Danny Gay.

Performance times are Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday afternoons at 2 p.m. There will be an opening night reception immediately following the Friday, Jan. 15, performance, which everyone is invited to attend.

Tickets are $20 for adults and $17 for seniors and students.

As always, Thursday  is “pay what you can,” as available at the door.

Reservations are strongly recommended.
