THREE TALL WOMEN by Edward Albee (SI)
Th-Sat, 21-23 at 8pm
Sun, June 24 at 2pm

The Pulitzer Prize winner for Drama in 1994, THREE TALL WOMEN is a beautiful and enduring examination of loss and our ability to go on in spite of it. Haunting and humorous, it follows the travails and disappointments of three contemporary women--how they live, how they love, what they settle for and how they die. Albee is also the author of such classics as Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf?, The Zoo Story, and The Goat: or, Who is Sylvia?

Directed by ACC Drama Faculty, Marcus McQuirter.

ACC Interpreter Services will provide ASL interpretation for all shows.

Runs June 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th, and June 21st, 22nd, 23rd and 24th, Thursdays - Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 2pm, Gallery Theatre, 3rd floor, RGC, 12th and Rio Grande.
