The Academy Theatre Presents Divided Among Themselves: A New Play By Hank Kimmel

When Mr. Marcus dies, his four daughters must reunite in the families New York apartment to divide his estate. As they wrestle with who should get the money, they must also wrestle with their distinct takes on life and whether they can own up to who they really are! By turns poignant and funny, Hank Kimmel's new show cracks with tension!
The show features: Lorilyn Harper, Joe McGlaughlin, Tafee Patterson, Paige Steadman, & Jacquelyn Wyer.

Academy Theatre Artistic Director Robert Drake directs and Karen Rooker stage-manages.

"I could not wait to do this show! I saw it on workshops and thought that four powerful sisters each with a distinct point of view would really be powerful on stage." says Drake.
"That these sisters are competing for their father's legacy makes it all the more powerful!"
