The Charm of Making

Stella Adler Theatre
( 03/19/2010 - 04/25/2010 )

Newly formed Stella Adler Los Angeles Theatre Collective begins its inaugural season with THE CHARM OF MAKING, a world premiere play by Collective member and Award-winning playwright Timothy McNeil (Anything – 2007 LADCC Best Play) and directed by Collective member and Academy Award-winner Milton Justice (The Day I Stood Still – U.S. Premiere). Set in present day, small town Mississippi, The Charm of Making examines the conflict of religion vs. human nature through the eyes of the last living members of an old Southern family, as they struggle with the past of their dead relatives and their present as family and individuals. Elvin Randolph attempts to break the chains of the past. He is aided by his loving but volatile sister Morgan, and opposed by his opinionated yet equally loving brother, Baptist preacher Samuel.
