LAGUNA PLAYHOUSE presents the Fourth Show in their 97th Season! I AM MY OWN WIFE

Date:

Limited Engagement Opens Sunday, January 14

at Laguna Playhouse in Laguna Beach! 

Laguna Playhouse is thrilled to announce the fourth show in the Laguna Playhouse 97th season, I AM MY OWN WIFE, written by Doug Wright and directed by Jenny Sullivan and starring John Tufts. “We are so fortunate to start 2018 with this exquisite play and extraordinary performance,” comments Laguna Playhouse Executive Director Ellen Richard.  Adds Artistic Director Ann E. Wareham “I AM MY OWN WIFE is a remarkable piece of theatre and even more so that the story is true, and still has so much relevance today.  Our subscribers and audiences are in for an unforgettable experience.” 

Not long after the fall of the Berlin Wall, playwright Doug Wright began a conversation with Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, an elegant and eccentric 65-year-old German transvestite who, against all odds, navigated a path between the Nazi’s and East German Secret Police — in a pair of high heels. Wright uses more than 30 characters—all played by a single actor—to piece together Charlotte’s controversial life.  A profound story of survival and inspiration. This provocative and bold production is highly engaging for ages 16 and up.                          

 

 This season is generously underwritten by The Hale Family.  Additional Season Sponsors are South Coast Plaza, Haskell White, Surterre Properties, Bodhi Leaf Coffee Traders, Gelson’s, and Nolet’s Silver Dry Gin.
