Tickets can be purchased by visiting www.dixonplace.org or by calling 866-811-4111.

Direct from its run at Los Angeles' The Moth, Angelica Page has returned to New York to present her solo show Turning Page - a sophisticated, funny, and deeply compelling tribute to her late mother, legendary actress Geraldine Page.

Written and performed by Angelica Page and directed by Tony Award nominated Wilson Milam, Turning Page tells Geraldine Page's unbelievable story - one of a rebel and trail blazer whose sparkling career earned her a record-breaking eight Academy Award-nominations and whose untimely death in 1987 deprived us of one of entertainment's most dazzling figures.

As Angelica Page explains, "I began developing Turning Page, under the direction of Tony nominated Wilson Milam in 2012 after years of avoiding the subject: unearthing my late mother,Geraldine Page who, during her lifetime was dubbed 'the greatest actress of the English language.' I grew up in the center of her sparkling career which earned her a record-breaking eight Academy Award-nominations, and made her one of the most influential and celebrated American artists of the 20th century. I also witnessed her personal life which was marred by loss and tragedy.

"As her only daughter I feel compelled to share her lessons and gifts with others who did and did not have the opportunity to know her magic intimately. She was a true rebel and trail blazer. A masterful woman who was ahead of her time and should not be forgotten anytime soon."
