It’s that time of the year – and the fall theatre seasons are off.

My pals at Alumnae Theatre open their 2011-12 season with Polly Teale’s After Mrs. Rochester, opening next Friday, September 23 and running till Friday, October 7 on the main stage.

Directed by Laura Roald (who directed Closer for the Alum a few years ago), After Mrs. Rochester follows the troubled life of writer Jean Rhys, who penned Wild Sargasso Sea, a prequel to Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre. The production – co-produced by PJ Hammond and Tabitha Keast – features an all-female cast, with two of the women playing various male characters: Kanika Ambrose, Julie Burris (who appeared at Alum in Daughter of the House), Laura Jabalee, Tabitha Keast (Closer, You Are Here), Tina McCulloch (doing triple duty acting, marketing & blogging) and Susan Q Wilson (After Magritte).

PLEASE NOTE: this production will be closing on a Friday night (not the usual Saturday night). Check out the Alumnae website for more info and reservations (I think they still need to revise the closing date there): http://www.alumnaetheatre.com/1112after.html
