EDITORS: The Laurie Beechman Theatre is proud to offer audiences an amazing evening of entertainment with one of America's greatest pop culture icons-Ms Alison Arngrim. Fans worldwide remember Alison Arngrim as hateful Nellie Oleson, the acid-tongued hellcat for seven years on TV's Little House on the Prairie. Arngrim has gone on to successes in many arenas, but Nellie has remained a centerpiece of her public acclaim. Alison says "Even now strangers sometimes shy away from me until they realize that I'm not going to hurt them." At least, not when she's offstage. In Confessions of a Prairie Bitch, audiences can expect the unexpected and more than a Little Nellie Oleson-style wickedness on this hilarious ride through the twisted heartland of America.

Alison guest-starred on such television classics as The Love Boat and Fantasy Island, and lampooned her own status as "ex-child star" on the month-long parody, "Hollywood Survivor," on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno. She can also be seen in numerous independent films, including For the Love of May, with RuPaul, and The Last Place on Earth, co-starring Billy Dee Williams and Phyllis Diller. A talented stand-up comedian, Alison has created quite a name for herself on the professional comedy circuit, headlining such venues as The Comedy Store and Laugh Factory, as well as Comedy Clubs across the U.S. Since the launch of her memoirs, Alison has been on a whirlwind tour including Philadelphia, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Chicago, Boston, New York, Denver, Knoxville, and even Walnut Grove, as well as a broad to Paris, London and Venice. Now, one year to the date, the bitch is back by popular demand she returns to NY.

After the passing of her "Little House" co-star Steve Tracy, who died of AIDS in 1986, Alison became a national AIDS Activist for organizations like APLA, providing AIDS education to doctors, nurses, prison inmates, service clubs, churches and schools. Alison stunned viewers of The Larry King Show in 2004 when she revealed her own history of childhood sexual abuse, becoming a advocate on legislature preventing child abuse by joining the advisory board of the National Association to Protect Children (PROTECT.org).
