OK, we're not slaving over hand cranked laundry, or getting our milk straight from the cow, or literally standing over a hot stove all day anymore, but in a lot of ways it's still a man's world. So naturally, I think Wendy Wilcox (director) had a beautiful idea when she decided to celebrate women playwrights this month at Reader's Theatre Repertory (RTR). The evening's entertainment was comprised of three separate pieces; Audition by Jane Martin, Anything For You by Cathy Celesia, and finally Tatto Girl by Naomi Iizuka. I chuckled my way through the shows from start to finish. To make things even better, Wendy chose a fantastic cast. All her actors were quite talented and fit their roles very well. I have to say that Elizabeth Garrett and Marsha Allen were wonderful. I was particularly fond of their work together in Anything For You. They brought a humaness to the characters in this piece that really made me forget I was an audience member. They drew me in. Don't forget to come to this evening's performance at the Blackfish Gallery on Ninth Avenue in the Pearl District!
