Lee Brady’s What About Ben? Opens Tonight!

with Marie Shell as Coralynn in Lee Brady’s one-woman show

Coralynn is a one-named folk singer and feisty widow who travels from bad times in Oklahoma to good times in the Berkeley Hills. Inspired by real-life folk singer, LaWanda, the story takes off when Coralynn’s architect-husband, Ben, dies and a sexy tree-trimmer named Jose enters her life. Can she move him into the house that Ben built? The magical Marie Shell* stars in this one-woman show, accompanied by guitarist Eric Lenchner. Original songs, music and lyrics by Marie Shell and Eric Lenchner. Today is also a double feature of AJ Baker’s The Right Thing at 4pm and Lee Brady’s What About Ben? at 7pm. There will be a reception in between the shows with 3 Girls wine and delicious appetizers. WHAT ABOUT BEN? has 3 more performances (Thursdays 3/22 & 3/29 @ 7:30PM and Sunday April 1st @ 7PM) at Thick House on Potrero Hill, which has plenty of on-street parking and is nearby several fabulous restaurants (including Chez Papa and Aperto).

Special Pricing for the Double Feature – $32 at the door for two shows. You can buy your tickets online through our website at www.3girlstheatre.org. See you at the theatre!

From the San Francisco Chronicle:

Some fine acting also distinguishes Linda Ayres-Frederick’s wry, futuristic “Afield.” Directed by Joe Weatherby, it’s an intriguing, offbeat showdown for two ragged, suspicious survivors (Bruno Kanter and Carolyn Doyle) in a toxic, oft-flooded wasteland and one very alert pig (Heidi Wolff). At issue is who might survive the land mines and the next deluge, and whether pigs can fly – or float.
