GRRL PARTS (preview)
At the UMBC Theatre, March 2 - 6
The Department of Theatre presents GRRL PARTS, a continuing project directed by Susan McCully to commission major American playwrights to create new roles for actresses. For 2011 we present three new works directed by Eve Muson:
• Runaways, a commissioned work by Ellen McLaughlin
• Snip, a commissioned work by Karen Hartman
• The United States premiere of What Is the Custom of Your Grief? by Timberlake Wertenbaker
Three plays of young women--sisters, wives, mothers and lovers--bound together by desires and destinies beyond their control. The domestic becomes epic and the personal poetic in these tales of support and betrayal among women.

Wednesday, March 2nd, 8 pm (preview)
Thursday, March 3rd, 4 pm (free performance for UMBC students, faculty and staff)
Friday, March 4th, 8 pm (opening night, with a talkback session following the performance)
