A word from Rebecca Lovett, who portrayed Isabel, Anna's mother, in Time Flies.
Hello all. I'm halfway through the run of my latest play, "Belles," and
would love for you to come check it out! Not only is it a fun play but it's
for a good cause... the production company, Heiress Productions, partners
with various cancer charities. For this show, the proceeds benefit Joe's
House, a nonprofit organization providing "a nation-wide online service that
helps cancer patients and their families find lodging near treatment
centers."
"Belles: a play in two acts and 45 phone calls" ? will run
through April 12 at the Lion Theatre on Theatre Row.
"The Walker
sisters, born and raised in Memphis, now live in six different US cities and
communicate solely by phone," according to Belles press notes. "The eldest,
Peggy, who remained with Mama in Tennessee, calls her siblings when their
mother is hospitalized ? nothing serious, she just ate some bad tuna ? but
the phone calls lead to often comedic and sometimes brutal confrontations
about the past and the present."
Under the direction of Marisa Viola,
the Walker sisters are played by Laura Faith as Paige, Ashton Heyl as Aneece,
Rebecca Lovett as Peggy, Kristi McCarson as Roseanne, Christina Shipp as
Sherry and Kelly Strandemo as Audrey.
The production features scenic
design by Jonathan W. Collins, costume design by Emily DeAngelis, lighting
design by Jessica Greenberg and sound design is by Chris Rummel.
Show
times are Thursdays-Saturdays at 8 PM, Sundays at 3 PM and Mondays at 7
PM. The Lion Theatre is located on Theatre Row at 410 West 42nd
Street, NY NY Tickets, priced $21.50, are available by visiting www.ticketcentral.com or
