Fells Point Corner Theatre announces a schedule change; replacing the no longer available Three Tall Women with Eleemosynary. Written by Lee Blessing and directed by Sherrionne Brown.
Eleemosynary probes into the subtle and often perilous relationship between three singularly remarkable women: the grandmother, Dorothea, who has sought to assert her independence through strong-willed eccentricity; her brilliant daughter, Artie, who has fled the stifling domination of her mother; and Artie's daughter Echo, a child of exceptional intellect - and sensitivity - whom Artie has abandoned to an upbringing by Dorothea.
