The Amazons!

Greetings Gossip Lovers,

This here? This is an Amazon (circa 1955). And you are not going to believe the company she keeps.

Can you name her?

Well this actress first performed on the seacoast in 1976 with Theater by the Sea. Not too many can claim that honestly.

She’s looks a heck of a lot like a lady she performs – though I’ll have to dig those pictures up to prove it, because neither of these bare that fact out.

Finally – the big give-away - she’ll run a theater fest at West End Studio Theatre, late summer/early fall.

Of course that means it can be no other than Stephanie Voss Nugent.

While she may be scurrying about prepping for her ACT ONE's 3rd Annual Festival of Fun, it’s a ways off for the rest of us; starts in August. Check her FOF site after May.

So that’s not what this posting is about – though it demonstrates her Amazon traits.

This one is about a MEETING of the Amazons. See Michael Tobin - (no he’s not one of the Amazons. Hold on it will make sense in a minute). – Anyway Michael's Dramedy Productions is bringing three of the regions more powerful female performers together on stage for the first time.

It’s going to be a blink-of-the-eye-event folks. A single night, staged reading of “Agnes of God.”

And the line up: (drum roll please), Stephanie Voss Nugent as Mother Miriam Ruth, WITH Tinka Darling as Doctor Martha Livingstone! Please be still my heart.

The cast is completed with a young lady (who can't even drive yet), whose made a mighty fine name for herself in the theater/dance community already, Ms. Alana Thyng, .

You MUST admit, that is some knockout casting!

I will definitely be there; front row seat, best hat and whitest gloves. Sad it’s only a reading, but it does beats never seeing these three together performing some kick-butt roles.

It’s all at the Portsmouth Pearl, Sunday, April 26th at 7pm.

Yours in sweet anticipation and high expectations

Gossip Lady
