Play Runs April 18-20 in AC’s Blackbox Lab
AC News Service
Angelina College’s Theater Department is thrilled to present “Laundry and Bourbon,” a heartwarming tale of love, friendship, and life in a small Texas town. The student-led production will run three nights starting Thursday, April 18, and closing on Saturday, April 20. All shows start at 7:30 p.m. and take place in the Black Box Lab inside the Angelina Center for the Arts.
The three-person cast consists of Eryn Presley Forrest (Centerville), who plays the role of Amy Lee while also showing her directorial skills; Emma McMullen (Apple Springs), who brings enthusiasm to her role as Hattie; and Dianna Saenz (Lufkin), who is making her theater debut as Elizabeth Caulder.
The story, by the late American playwright James McClure, centers around three married women who share the struggles of raising families while “longing for their high school glory days” (TheaterKnoxville.com). With help from a bottle of conversation starter and a laundry basket overflowing with the town’s gossip, the three women come together to solve the world’s problems as only three friends can do.
The productions are free to the public, and there is no admission charge.
