Soul Productions, in collaboration with Alternatives, is pleased to announce

A Coupla White Chicks Sitting Around

Douglas Road in Whitinsville, MA. Evening performances are at 8:00 p.m. on

A
Coupla White Chicks enjoyed a long
Off-Broadway run and featured a succession of noted actresses in the leads,
including Eileen Brennan, Susan Sarandon, Dixie Carter, Louise Lasser,
Jobeth Williams, and Dorothy Lyman. Pilgrim Soul’s upcoming production
features local performers Betty Kristan and Bonnie Stockdale, directed by
Matthew J. Carr.
The play
tells the story of Maude Mix, an uptight Westchester housewife
whose husband is currently on an extramarital jaunt with his secretary. From
the moment Maude’s new next-door neighbor, a flamboyant Texas ex-cheerleader
named Hannah Mae Bindler, invades Maude’s perfectly ordered kitchen, her
super-programmed day is thrown into comical chaos. At first, Hannah Mae’s
attempt to ingratiate herself with the private, no-nonsense Maude is a
frantic, funny failure. But soon, crises in both their marriages bring them
together. Under the onslaught of the bubbly, life-embracing Hannah Mae,
Maude’s defensive façade crumbles. The growth of their friendship and love
is engrossing, touching, and always uproariously hilarious.
Last spring at the Worcester Hibernian Cultural
Centre, Pilgrim Soul Productions staged Brian Friel’s nostalgic comedy
The Loves of Cass McGuire
to critical acclaim and standing ovations. The theater company soon begins
rehearsals in that venue for its
November production of Jimmy
Murphy’s The Muesli Belt, a
tragicomic tale of modern Dublin.
Alternatives is a non-profit agency
serving more than 550 adults with developmental and psychiatric disabilities
in 45 programs throughout central Massachusetts. The Singh Performance
Center is part of Alternatives’ recently renovated Whitin Mill complex.
