News: Grace Zabriskie out, Annette Cardona in

Marika Christian from the Festival writes:
I wanted to let you know that Grace Zabriskie had to cancel due to a medical issue ... We are working to either refund tickets for The Last Madam, or offer tickets to different theater performances ...

However, at the last minute we were notified that Annette Cardona would like to attend. She played Anthony Quinn's daughter in the documentary that traces the development of his play Red Devil Battery Sign -- I honestly don't know much about it ... so I am just going to type out what we have:
Tennessee Williams: Theater in Progress
10 AM The Cabildo

Narrated by Tennessee Williams, this documentary traces the development of his play Red Devil Battery Sign, from its opening press conference to its first performance at Boston's Shubert Theater in June 1975. The film offers an unusual look behind the scenes at a different kind of drama - the process of bringing theater to life. What we see and hear in the film is what makes the play possible. We witness the rehearsals, follow the revisions, and encounter the problems Williams faced in bringing the world to stage. The film reveals the work in progress - the collaborative effort between the writer, director and actors - that is the creative process of theater.

And Marika adds:
I know Annette Cardona as Cha Cha DiGregorio, the best dancer at St. Bernadette's with the worst reputation! - from Grease ...

Anyway, she will be on Dr Holditch's panel discussing her experience with Tennessee at ODE TO TENNESSEE 4pm Le Petit Theater mainstage.
