Lifeline Theatre Opens Season With WOMAN IN WHITE, 9/17
Lifeline Theatre presents an adaptation of Wilkie Collins' The Woman in White, by Lifeline Theatre ensemble member Robert Kauzlaric (two-time Non-Equity Jeff Award-winning adaptor), and directed by Lifeline Theatre ensemble member Elise Kauzlaric (Non-Equity Jeff Award nominee for Director-Play). Trapped in a loveless marriage and threatened by a conspiracy of ruthless men, young heiress Laura Fairlie faces a future of sorrow and misery. Her only hope lies with her true love, the poor artist Walter Hartright, and her sister Marian Halcombe, both of whom will risk everything to protect her. Without the law, society, or money on their side, Walter and Marian must race against time to free their beloved Laura and uncover the truth behind the mysterious woman in white that shares her face. A dark tale of romance and suspense, in a world premiere adaptation. Lifeline Theatre ensemble member Christopher M. Walsh leads the cast as the devious Count Fosco, joined by returning artists Don Bender and Lucy Carapetyan, plus six actors new to the Lifeline stage.
