Shirley Valentine, the one woman play that tells the story of an ordinary English housewife who takes herself on an extraordinary life adventure, continues through Marth 27th at the Red Barn Theatre, located at 319 Duval Street.
This Tony Award winning comedy by Willy Russell features the amazing Joan O’Dowd who “embodies Shirley Valentine with flair” and delivers a performance so disarmingly delightful that audiences are immediate drawn into the stories of Shirley’s “hum drum” life and her “mega brill” plan to do something about it!
“It’s been like visiting an old friend,” says O’Dowd who first performed the role fifteen years ago at the Red Barn Theatre. “An old friend that you’ve grown to appreciate and understand through the years.”
Shirley Valentine, which was directed by Joy Hawkins, is not the only strong woman being featured in Red Barn Theatre productions this month. A special production of Always ...Patsy Cline will run for three nights only, March 18 – 20, at the San Carlos Theatre, located at 516 Duval Street.
Always ... Patsy Cline features Joy Hawkins who is reprising her role as the fan turned friend to the superstar country singer Patsy Cline, played once again by the amazing Pamela Hand Lockwood. More than a tribute, this musical is a story of enduring friendship and the magic of timeless music.
“I love this show,” says Hawkins who has performed in it all over the country. “I can listen to Patsy’s great music again and again because the songs are classics. This story is based on the true story of a friendship forged between women who love music, love their kids, and love to laugh.”
Don’t miss the chance to see two wonderful plays about two indomitable women. Tickets are available online at www. redbarntheatre.com or by calling the Red Barn box office at 305-296- 9911.
