| Standup comic and actress Shelley Bennett takes us on a bizarrely funny journey from Santa Claus, Indiana to a mosque in Egypt and into the many ironies of a Hollywood career. Along the way she encounters a cast of quirky characters who reflect the bigotry, guilt and loathing that affect us all in a post 9-11 world. CHECK BACK FOR SCHEDULE OF SHOWS. TICKETS |
| ******************************************************* I Was Greta Garbo The enigmatic film star, Greta Garbo, is back! Adored by millions she walked away from it all. Complex, yet simple. Gorgeous, yet haunted. Courageous, yet shy and reclusive. This is the enigma of Greta Garbo. Now, she who wanted to be alone, returns to allow one last look into her beautiful, mysterious life. Comedy and tragedy intermingle on Garbo’s journey to self-discovery. She rose to stardom but the trappings of success almost destroyed her sense of self and well-being. Her longing for love and spiritual meaning stayed with her to the very end. Ms. Rolandsson wrote this one-woman show at Garbo’s gravesite, in Stockholm, Sweden, where the star also was born. The first version of the play was commissioned in 2005 by the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, which did an exhibit of unique photographs of the immortalized actress. The award-winning actress Finola Hughes is directing the newest version of the show, with Ms. Rolandsson as Garbo. Actress/artist Hariette Garellick Deutsch will exibit paintings of Greta Garbo and other theater inspired works. FEBRUARY 9, 10, 11 and 12 at 8 P.M.
