West Coast Ensemble presents Three Tall Women, written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Edward Albee and directed by Michael Matthews opening 8 p.m. Saturday, November 14. The cast features Leah Myette, Jan Sheldrick and Eve Sigall.
In this haunting and sometimes hilarious play, three women face and embrace life’s travails and disappointments. As each woman’s true identity is revealed, the audience discovers the true genius of America’s most intriguing contemporary playwright. With his trademark wit and lack of sentimentality, Albee offers us an unblinking portrait of contemporary women – how they live, how they love, what they settle for, and how they die. A multiple Drama Critics, Lucille Lortel and Outer Critics Circle award-winner, Three Tall Women "is an electrifying examination on loss and our ability to go on."
Three Tall Women previews 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday, November 12 and 13, opens 8 p.m. Saturday, November 14 and continues 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday through December 20. Tickets are $10 previews, $20 general and $18 student/senior/union. Call 323-460-4443 or visit www.wcensemble.org or www.tix.com. The El Centro Theatre is located at 800 N.
