Save The Dates!

Carol has been cast in a new show with Point of Contention Theatre Company! The show is Still Photos, by Vanda, and will run June 27 - July 27 at the Trap Door Theatre, in Chicago.

Carol will be playing the part of Grandma-- we can only assume that the magic of make-up will make this believable! The play begins with Grandma, cleaning out her attic and reflecting on the past.

"Still Photos is a 1940’s love story, that just happens to be about two women. Aubra is a housebound, Fifth Avenue opera diva, whose career collapsed when she was crippled in the polio epidemic of 1931. Charlie is a modern day “Rosie the Riveter,” whose job as a projectionist at the Flatbush Cinema fuels her dreams of becoming a movie producer. Charlie’s fiancĂ© arranges for Charlie to take care of Aubra, while he and Aubra’s fiancĂ© go off to fight in the Second World War. While the men are away the two women fall in love. The war soon ends and they both must decide between their love for each other and their responsibilities to their men. They don’t know that they are being haunted by the future."


Mark your calendars:
June 27 - July 27
