"Alabaster" by Audrey Cefaly
Discover the Power of Healing and Art
Alabaster, by Audrey Cefaly, is a Pulitzer-nominated, Kilroys-listed, all female darkly comic Southern drama and winner of the Calicchio Prize. After a tornado barrels through the town of Alabaster, Alabama-- leaving nothing but death and destruction-- only June and her sassy pet goat Weezy and Weezy's mama Bib, live to tell the tale. When a prominent photographer visits to take pictures of June's scars, all are forced to a flashpoint of electric confrontation and recovery. Alabaster is an irreverent, inspirational exploration of love, art, and the resilience of the human spirit.
Tickets range from $23-$37
