Ovation Award Winners!!!

Best Ensemble for a Play!

The girls in the cast with Doug Savant

Trivia: Doug and I were in acting class together at the Howard Fine Studio -

he did pretty well for himself on a little show they call "Desperate Housewives."  For some reason he handed me the statue, but we later gave it to the man responsible for our win, Del Shores!

Susan is back as "Rayleen"...

"She is trash that will not burn!"

 

 

 

 

 

From the author of "Daddy's Dyin'... Who's Got The Will?", "Sordid Lives," and "Southern Baptist Sissies", Del Shores' new play is a tragi-comedy about domestic violence.  Set in small town trailer-park Texas,  "Trailer Trash Housewives" explores the lives of Willadean Winkler, her abusive husband J.D., best-friend LaSonia (pronounced "Lasagna"), and trashy cocktail waitress Rayleen Hobbs.  The play is scored around soul-soaring blues songs sung by Debby Holiday.
