June lives alone in a small farmhouse in Alabaster, Alabama, three years after a tornado killed her family. June is covered with scars from the catastrophe, with only her two goats, Weezy and Bib, as companions. Alice, a noted photographer from New York, has come to take pictures of June for a photo series on women with scars. But Alice has scars of her own and is desperately trying to outrun her pain. The sensual tension/attraction between June and Alice is immediate, but what they need from each other transcends anything physical. A play about healing and the power of women.
(Please be advised there is a brief moment of partial nudity in this production.)
PRESS
Stage Raw - STAGE RAW TOP TEN - RECOMMENDED! - “rich, complex and compelling… a psychological and emotional thriller… Cefaly’s dialogue shines… deeply poignant… If this production is any indication of the remainder of the season, this company’s reputation for artistic excellence should sustain.” - G. Bruce Smith
Splash Magazines - “THE HEALING POWER OF ART AND LOVE… THOUGHT-PROVOKING AND ENTERTAINING… tackles the meaning and purpose of art and the struggle of lost and tortured souls who create that art – all the while keeping the perspective offered by humor.” - Elaine Mura
Hollywood Progressive - “A REWARDING THEATRICAL EXPERIENCE… alternately scathing and poignant… well directed… excellent, incisive acting.” — Ed Rampell
Larchmont Buzz - “HUMOR, WIT AND INTELLIGENCE… All four characters are lovingly portrayed by an incredibly talented cast… surprisingly funny… can make you laugh, cry, and think all within a two hour time-span… If you are the type that loves a little magic in your realism, I recommend checking out Alabaster.” — Erika Newman
