The Divas, by Jack Neary
The Divas was born as a ten-minute play at the Boston Theater Marathon of ten-minute plays. It was so successful, that Mr. Neary wrote several more short, thematically connected plays which eventually became “The Divas.” It involves two professional actresses “of a certain age,” Bethel (played by Phoebe Greyson) and Clarice (played by Marjorie Burren), who we see, as the play opens, watching a rival actress onstage in a role they both feel they should have played. Their friendly / unfriendly rivalry continues thru the course of the play, as we see them auditioning for the same role, discussing a gala event that features the both of them, and through other trials and tribulations, revealing the lengths these characters will go to win, until the time comes when winning is no longer the objective.
Originally performed in San Miguel in October with Antonia Banewicz and Marjorie Burren, it was such a hit, the decision was made to do another performance. So you are in luck!!
The play includes the wonderful Frank Simons,recently onstage in Playreaders’ “Outgoing Tide” with Marjorie Burren, who plays several men including a director, and a publicist, and veteran actress Susan Rushton. The hilarious relationship between these two actors makes for a delightful and very funny evening of theater. Come and enjoy.
Don't miss February’s Playreaders. You're going to love it!
