We at Playhouse 2000 are always on the lookout for well written, audience-pleasing plays. That diligence certainly paid off this year, as P2K landed the rights to present Texas' very first production of a new play we're sure will be a huge hit.
The Playhouse 2000 production of The Glitter Girls - part of the company's 20th Anniversary Season - will be one of just five around the country this year, each a regional premiere. The play has already been accepted for a future acting edition by Mr. Dunn's publishers, Playscripts, Inc.
In The Glitter Girls, we meet the members of a tight-knit social club in the fictional town of Hickman Hills, Georgia. One member of the group - the fortunately well-off Trudy Tromaine - announces that she is ill, and wants to bequeath a large sum to the club before she dies.
The hitch is that it's the members themselves who must decide who will get the small fortune - with hopes that the one they select will see it in her heart to share the money with the rest of her "sisters."
Mr. Dunn describes it as "Steel Magnolias meets Survivor," with a big dose of quirky humor and some down-to-earth sentiment thrown in for good measure.
The cast includes several P2K Debuts, including Brenda Hutchison as "Trudy," Serenity Lewis-Lockhart as "Flossie Price," Becka Grey as "Mayvonne Rausch," Sarah Brooks as "Patty Wesley" and Scott Jones as "Arpege LaCroix."
Familiar faces in the group include Devon Vanderveer as "Charlie Seaburn," Michele VanFossen as "Valerie Fairhope," Liz Koeninger as "Mamie Ewing," Katie Bishop as "Corinne Culvert," and Allen Rudolph as "Dowd Foster."
You'll have a chance to meet the playwright at a post-show reception on opening night, Friday, August 17th, in the VK Garage Theater. (We suggest getting tickets early for that night)
Additional performances will be August 18 through September 2. Friday and Saturday shows will begin at 7:30 and Sunday Matinees on August 26 and September 2 will be at 2:30. All tickets are $22, General Admission.
