Press Release: Wise Women

As I mentioned in an earlier post, we are doing our first Christmas show, Ron Osborne's Wise Women.  The press release is below.

The Valley Theatre Presents Wise Woman, A Christmas Story    
This December, the Valley Theatre will be presenting Ron Osborne’s poignant Christmas comedy, Wise Women.  You won’t want to miss this enjoyable holiday tale set during the turbulent World War II era.
                In order to do her part for the war effort Florence Dunleavy (Rebekah Brennan) agrees to take in two boarders for the holidays, the meek Sarah Ruth (SarahBadger) and her sassy friend Jiggs (Rachel Stowe).  Florence’s daughter, Rose (Amy Coon), is less than thrilled with the arrangement  but her resentment soon turns to opportunism when she realizes that one of the these two interlopers might just be her ticket to seeing Frank Sinatra’s Christmas concert at the USO!
                Jiggs injects some much needed life into the Dunleavy home by bringing home her fast-talking beau (Michael Blankenship), introducing young Rose to a shy marine (Ben Layman) and convincing Sarah Ruth to join the Miss Bombshell USA pageant!  As conflicts arise and tempers flare, long held resentments and a few family secrets come to the surface.  Can this group of wise women come to terms by Christmas?  You’ll have to come find out for yourself!

                The shows run Friday and Saturday, December 13-14 at 7pm at the Houghton Fire Hall on Rt. 19 in Houghton, New York.  Tickets are just $5.00.  For more information or ticket reservations contact director Nic Gunning at TheValleyTheatre@gmail.com or find them online at www.facebook.com/valleytheatre.
