Show Notes
"Back when I was a kid my mother took me to see a fortune teller for my 12th birthday…She said that when I am in my 20's I will reach two paths. Two paths J. And I don't know which one to pick."
In the parking lot behind a Houston strip club, a young dancer considers a proposal from an octogenarian billionaire. Before the world devours her story, she has to choose it.
Written and directed by OBIE winner Lucas Hnath (Broadway's Hillary and Clinton, A Doll's House, Part 2), THE COURTSHIP OF ANNA NICOLE SMITH features Quincy Tyler Bernstine ("Power," Marys Seacole) and David Patrick Kelly ("Twin Peaks," Thérèse Raquin). After the performance, the artists join host Claudia Catania to discuss theater in the age of Quarantine, directing your own plays, and the double-edged sword of celebrity.
THE COURTSHIP OF ANNA NICOLE SMITH was first produced at Actors Theatre of Louisville as part of The Tens, presented by the Professional Training Company.
