Bessie, Alice and Margaret have two things in common: they are married to George Joseph Smith, and they are dead.  Surfacing from the bathtubs they were drowned in, the three breathless brides gather evidence against their womanizing, murderous husband by reliving the shocking events leading up to their deaths.  Reflecting on the misconceptions of love, married life, and the not-so-happily ever after, The Drowning Girls is both a breathtaking fantasia and a social critique, full of rich images, a myriad of characters, and lyrical language.

Auditions Announced for CHAMPAGNE GODS at Clifton Players

CP_logoClifton Players will be holding audition for some of the open roles in their next show
CHAMPAGNE GODS by Emily Dendinger. Seeking non-union actors, positions are paid.

Auditions will be held Thursday December 28 at 7:00 at The Liberty Exhibition Hall (3938 Spring Grove Ave). Please bring resumes and headshots if available.

Synopsis: CHAMPAGNE GODSs by Emily Dendinger
Holly has made the greatest archeological discovery of the 21st century—an oracle of the god Apollo that shows you the person you’re meant to spend your life with. However, when Holly decides that there’s more to life than archeology, her colleague Will takes it upon himself to change her mind. Set among the marble halls of the British Museum on the night of a New Years Eve gala, chaos ensues as love turns everything topsy turvy. A throwback to the screwball comedies of the 1940s, CHAMPAGNE GODS is a romantic romp about fate, farce and fidelity.

    An archeological financier, in love with his young wife but not quite over the death of his first wife *(precast)

THE DROWNING GIRLS Quick Review

THE DROWNING GIRLS presented The Clifton Players through Nov. 11. I attended the opening night performance.

Clifton Players open their new space, the Liberty Exhibition Hall, with a haunting production of THE DROWNING GIRLS.

Bessie, Alice and Margaret have two things in common: they are married to George Joseph Smith, and they are dead.  Surfacing from the bathtubs they were drowned in, the three breathless brides gather evidence against their womanizing, murderous husband by reliving the shocking events leading up to their deaths. 

Local favorites Mindy Heithaus, Eileen Earnest, and Carol Brammer excel in the production; both as an ensemble and in their strongest individual performances to date.

Director Bridget Leak continues to impress with her inventive staging and clear vision for the engaging script.

My rating: 5 out of 5.
