MAY
24, 2004 - Press Release Monday, May 24th
at Karyl Lynn Burns makes her Speaking of Stories debut performing
Karen Karbo’s Why I Hate That My
Mother Was Right. Karbo’s comic exposition tells how one woman feels if
she had only listened more closely to her Mother’s advice, she would perhaps
have been more successful in love .
. . or maybe not! Karyl Lynn is an
accomplished actress having performed locally in numerous roles with the Santa
Barbara Civic Light Opera and Ensemble Theatre.
Her television credits include appearances on the classic soap opera Another
World and series Against the Grain and Aaron’s Way. David Michael
Kaplan’s Love
Your only Mother tells the heartfelt
story of a Mother’s correspondence to her daughter whom she left behind at the
age of nine and reveals how over the years, her now grown-up daughter finds both
pain and comfort in the annual cards which are their only communication.
DramaDogs Co-Artistic Director, E. Bonnie Lewis returns to our stage to
recount this tale. E. Bonnie is an
experienced actor and dancer and has appeared on numerous stages throughout Charles
Krauthammer’s endearing Of
Dogs and Men explores the mysterious bond between humans and our precious
puppies. This charming and hysterical story is touchingly relayed by
self-confessed dog lover, Richard Jones. Former Entertainment Director
for the U.S. Army in Santa
Barbara Author, John F. Luca conveys his autobiographical account of a
young boy’s struggle to come to terms with the death of his father at the
tender age of six, and how in turn he came to appreciate the love that was
always there for him in Nick, his step-father. The Impala is a rites-of-passage story guaranteed to warm your
heart. First
appearing in The New York Sun in 1916,
were Archy and Mehitabel; Mehitabel, a down-on-her-luck cat and Archy, a
philosophical cockroach from whose viewpoint the poems are told, are characters
created by columnist and Author, Don Marquis. The inimitable Christina
Allison whose recent work, Wild Irish
Women was read at the New York Headquarters of the American Irish Historical
Society earlier last year to great
success, joins us to deliver Mehitabel Was
Once Cleopatra.
