MOXIE PRODUCTIONS LAUNCHES “AMERICA’S FAVORITES” READING SERIES WITH “STEEL MAGNOLIAS” ON OCTOBER 11 & 12 AT 7:30 PM, AT THE WHITE MEETING HOUSE AT THE WATERBURY CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.

MOXIE Productions presents “Steel Magnolias,” by Robert Harling, on Friday, October 11 & Saturday, October 12 at the White Meeting House at The Waterbury Congregational Church at 7:30pm. This first of the series, “Steel Magnolias,” will be directed by local playwright and theater professor, Jeanne Beckwith, and feature local actors Monica Callan, Claire Demarais, Sandra Gartner, Ramona Godfrey, Mary Scripps, and Katie Whitney. A picture of small town eccentricity, “Steel Magnolias” is a lively comedy full of hilarious repartee and poignant strength, as colorful neighbors come together when tragedy hits.

The America’s Favorites Series will showcase plays which American luminaries have awarded, theater companies have most produced, and audiences in the past have talked the most about, in theatrical readings from October 2013 to May 2014, with local professional and community actors & directors. The series will also include such well-loved plays as “A Streetcar Named Desire,” by Tennessee Williams and directed by George Woodard on November 22 & 23 and “Our Town,” by Thorton Wilder, directed by Adam Cunningham on January 17 & 18. This series is generously sponsored by The White Meeting House and Across Roads Center for the Arts.

Admission is open to all with a pay-what-you-can donation. For information please contact MOXIE Productions at 244-4168 or moxie@pshift.com
