March 22-April 26 “Cuff Me: The Fifty Shades of Grey:” This unauthorized hilarious parody is based off of the “Fifty Shades of Grey” book phenomenon. Grab your girlfriends and get ready to laugh at this sexy and hysterical romp. “Cuff Me” will have you dancing in the aisles as the cast of four belts out hilarious parodies of popular hit songs from Britney Spears’ ”Hit Me One More Time” and Madonna’s “Like A Virgin” to Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe,” while spoofing the book. The production is written by Bradford McMurran, Jeremiah Albers and Sean Michael Devereux of the improv group The Pushers. It was conceived by Tim Flaherty, who is also a contributing author along with Sonya Carter, who will direct. The Centerstage cast features Anna Clausen, Kate Alden, Casey Raiha and Brock Madden. Performances run through March 30 at the Knutzen Family Theatre in Federal Way. Ticket prices range from $49 to $28.
