:: oleanna ::
so every once in a while someone has
the guts to put on a risky show
that they know won't make any money. and those shows are usually
really good and thought-provoking. oleanna will be one of those plays.
you won't know it going in, but when you come out you'll be glad you went.
brad bosen and kelli chavez are fantastic
local actors.
seeing them in this show should be worth the price of admission alone.
