Wow! The cast and crew knocked it out of the park at last night's opening performance of "Painting Churches"! They truly deserved the standing ovation they received. Folks, don't miss out on seeing this powerhouse show by Tina Howe. It was a finalist for the Pulitzer prize for Drama for a reason - and this cast brings it to perfection.

Five more chances to see it.

Come see StageCoach Theatre's "first timers" collection of actors: Carla Francischetti Baechtle, Jennifer Lyons Pagnard, and Bob Chaves in Tina Howe's Painting Churches, opening tonight in Ashburn VA. This group of veteran performers brings all the nuances you need in a family dramedy: joy, pain, aging, art, memory loss, resentment, forgiveness, and love, all wrapped up in beautiful classical music blanket by Chopin.

Rounding out our trio on stage for "Painting Churches", opening on Friday, May 6th:

Margaret Church, Mags to her family and friends, is on the verge of artistic notoriety. She's been given a one-woman show at one of the most important galleries in New York. The final portrait for the show is the one she will do of her parents - if she can get them to sit still long enough to pose. But will her memories and her relationship with her parents color her vision?

Another character in "Painting Churches" by Tina Howe, opening on May 6th.

Fanny Sedgwick Church has to get cracking! She's packing up a lifetime in Boston to move to a Cape Cod cottage the size of a handkerchief. Her poet husband and her daughter, the artist, are no help at all. But her attempts to bring order to their lives have created an emotional chaos that the three of them will need to sort out first.

As we grow closer to opening day of "Painting Churches" on May 6th, let us introduce you to the characters in our story.

Gardner Church is a Pulitzer prize-winning poet who has always had his head in the clouds. He spends his days typing pages for his new book and teaching the bird to recite poetry. HIs daughter thinks he's "abstracted". His wife thinks he's "mad as a hatter". What Gardner thinks is anyone's guess as his tenuous grip on reality begins to unravel.
