SFS Theatre Set for Edward Allan Baker's DOLORES/NORTH OF PROVIDENCE

SFS Theatre Company launches its inaugural 2010 production with acclaimed playwright Edward Allan Baker's sibling plays DOLORES/NORTH OF PROVIDENCE, directed by Stephanie Feury.

DOLORES/NORTH OF PROVIDENCE will preview on Wednesday, February 17 at 8pm; Friday, February 19 at 8pm & Saturday, February 20 at 8pm and will open on Wednesday, February 24 at 8pm and will run for six weeks through Sunday, March 27 (there will be no performance on Saturday, March 20) at the SFS Theatre, 5636 Melrose Ave. (at Larchmont) in Los Angeles.

Dolores, set in Rhode Island, is the story of two sisters drawn together by domestic violence which influences the lives of both characters far more than they admit to anyone, even themselves. Sandra is home alone, enjoying her weekly break from her husband and kids, when Dolores shows up with a black eye from her abusive husband. She is in desperate need of Sandra's help. Through the course of the play, it becomes clear that Dolores is an unwelcome explicit reminder of the brutality Sandra tries to overlook in her own life. North of Providence journeys through a painful crisis between brother and sister, uncovering old family wounds on the last day of their father's life. Bobbie has burrowed himself in his parents' home and is confronted by the over-bearing Carol To come to the hospital. Bobbie attempts to push Carol and the reality of his dying father away, but she persists, awakening him to the bitter truth.
