Hollywood makeup artists may be able to transform Meryl Streep in former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher but they have nothing on the artists at the Natchez Little Theatre who transformed Rusty Jenkins into Earl “Brother Boy” Ingram, a transvestite who thinks he is Tammy Wynette — just one of the eccentric characters in the play “Sordid Lives” now playing at the Natchez Little Theatre. This comedy contains adult language and adult situations. The plays runs through Sunday. For more information go to www.natchezlittletheatre.org or call 601-442-2233.
