See Retta in Engagement

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

Hey, Donna fans! Retta is in a new Katselas Theatre Company production at The Beverly Hills Playhouse. It’s called Engagement. Details below!

Engagement

From Katselas Theatre Company:

“Engagement” is an audacious dramatic comedy about relationships in the age of social media. Covering two intense years in the off-center romantic entanglement of Mark, a sharp-witted political conservative, and Nicole – apolitical, tolerant and artistic, this world premiere stagework takes aim at a contemporary social fabric frayed by technology’s relentless attack on the fragile connection between people.

From Retta:

The show is double cast so I’m not in every run. My performance dates are: July 17th, 23rd, 25th, August 1st, 6th, 7th, 14th, & 15th.

Come see Donna get her “range” on.
