Photo Flash: 'Girl's Room' Opening Night

Broadway legends Carol Lawrence and Donna McKechnie star in a new play, Girl's Room, by Joni Fritz, which celebrated its gala opening on Friday, November 30 at 8PM at the Queens Theatre in the Park (Flushing Meadows Corona Park).  Directed by Broadway's Lynne Taylor-Corbett and produced by Queens Theatre in the Park in association with Dennis Grimaldi, Girl's Room is the first play from the Theatre's 'Plays A Mother Would Love" reading series selected for a fully staged production.

"Set in the suburbs outside of New York City, Girl's Room centers on a young ballet dancer about to break into the big-time but has another kind of break — an accident that could end her career," explain press notes. Donna McKechnie, who created the role of Cassie in A Chorus Line and Carol Lawrence, Broadway's original Maria in West Side Story are top cast in this charming new play about three generations of lively women and the lies that bind them together as well as the truths that tear them apart. Stephanie Wright Thompson plays the young ballet dancer.

Girl's Room plays a limited engagement as part of the Theatre Series sponsored by the Dr. William O. Benenson Rehabilitation Pavilion & Flushing Manors. Performances are: Friday, November 30 at 8PM; Saturday, December 1 at 2PM & 8PM; Sunday, December 2 at 3PM; Wednesday, December 5 at 3PM; Thursday, December 6 at 3PM; Saturday, December 8 at 2PM & 8PM; and  Sunday, December 9 at 3PM.
