Kathy Center in a new play

When I learned that Ana's Key... may get another staged reading in January, I wrote Kathy Center who did such a fine job with the role for the staged reading at the Blue Theatre in Austin in August, hoping she might be interested in reading the part again. But Kathy will be in rehearsal for another play. Below is what she could tell me about that play and and its performances:

Here's the play info so far:


CAFÉ AT THE END OF TIME
A stage play by Sue Carroll Moore
the story of a gay bar in the Florida Keys and the characters that call it home.

Directed and Produced by former LA Director - Marian Jones.
Performance Dates Feb 3 - Feb 19 at the Daugherty Arts Center, Austin, TX


I'm playing "Tony" the bar owner and manager, a dyke from New Jersey who's juggle two girlfriends: the former, emotionally-dependent gal who just won't let go, and the younger, current gal, who's losing patience. All the characters are gay or lesbian and equally colorful.


Thanks,
Kathy

BLUE THEATRE ANNOUNCES!

Good news for new play!

Ana's Key to Anarchy will get a staged reading at the Blue Theatre in Austin! Also to have a staged reading, the same evening, PÈRE BOISSON, based on a story by Guy de Maupassant. Hurray for Blue! August 8, 7:30 pm, "Free and Open to the Public." Link to Blue Theatre at the right.

beaucoup de français, mais pas trop (in new one-woman show)

Elisée Reclus


I've just finished a new play. It's Ana's Key to Anarchy. Catchy title, right? The one woman of show is Ana Fortier, whose family had the sugar plantation in Louisiana where Elisée Reclus, who would become an important geographer and anarchist, was the resident French teacher from 1853 to 1855. She's 87 as she addresses us in 1929.(He left, of course, because he could not tolerate an economy based on slavery). Dans cet piéce il y a beaucoup de français, mais pas trop.

One more play set in 1929 and I'll have another trilogy. A December Eve's Visit with Frederic Demuth (NYC International Fringe Festival show 2008, a one-man show) was also set in 1929. Any ideas?

This new play takes place as the streetcar strike is in progress in New Orleans. Ana is wanting one of those new PoBoy sandwiches that the Martin Brothers created to give out to hungry strikers.

I've re-subscribed to Celtx, though it has no Celtx Central anymore, which I dearly miss. With this new Celtx you can generate PDF files of the plays, so that helps. If anyone would like a copy, let me know!

It's 106F here in Texas where I post this. (I like that snow on the mountains behind Monsieur Reclus.) Stay cool.
