Ticket and Reservation Information
Performances run Thursday through Sunday, January 25 through February 4, at Sightlines Theater at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds, Port Townsend, Washington. All performances begin at 7:30 pm except for February 4, which begins at 2:30 pm.
The first Friday performance, January 26, is a benefit for The Domestic Violence/Sexual Assault Program. All proceeds of that performance will be donated to this important local agency.
In "Imagining
Brad" the action takes place in Nashville, where two women meet after
church and strike up a conversation.
One is Dana Sue Kaye, who chatters on about her wonderful, perfect husband
-- her high school sweetheart and "the best-looking man in Tennessee."
The other is Brad's wife, a newlywed who has just moved down from Philadelphia
and is as closed-mouthed about her husband as Dana Sue is forthcoming
about hers.
The relationship that develops between this unlikely pair celebrates
the power of friendship to transform lives.
Gale Wallis, previously seen in Bare Boards' productions of "Talking
With..." and "Parallel Lives," portrays Dana Sue.
Michelle Hensel, one of BB&P's "Angry Housewives" of last summer's hit
musical and also featured in "Talking With...," brings Brad's wife to
life.
"The Valerie of Now"
stars Phina Pipia, age 13. It is a monologue in which a precocious teenager,
Valerie, contemplates the injustice of having to deal with the fears and
excitement of a momentous physical change in her life.
The play celebrates the creativity and humor of a boisterous and alive
young girl. This monologue by a young teenager is thought to be a first
for Port Townsend community theater.
Phina Pipia was last seen in "Robin Goodfellow." She also starred with
her father, Joe Pipia, in his award-winning play "War Buddies."
