ALL-AMERICAN GIRLS Plays Actor's Temple Theatre, Opens 8/25

Layon Gray, the writer and director of the long-running Off-Broadway hit Black Angels Over Tuskegee, continues to expand African-American theatre with his latest work, ALL-AMERICAN GIRLS, a tale racism, deceit and betrayal after the coach of an all-Negro female baseball team goes missing in 1945 Chicago. The drama captures an era in American history when women were called on to keep baseball alive as the men went off to fight in World War II.

Winner of an NAACP Award for Best Play, ALL-AMERICAN GIRLS will feature "One Life to Live" star Daphanee Duplaix and Cover Girl model Mari White, along with Setor Attipoe, Yasha Jackson, Ashley Jeffrey, Arlene McGruder, Chantal Nchako, Catherine Peoples, and Antoinette Robertson.

Previews will begin August 4th, with opening night set for August 25th. The Actors Temple Theatre is located in Manhattan at 339 West 47th Street (between 8th and 9th Avenues).

Performances are Wednesday evenings at 8pm and Thursday evenings at 7pm, in rep with Black Angels over Tuskegee. Tickets, which are $36.50 to $59.50, are available through Telecharge.com or by calling 212-239-6200.

ALL-AMERICAN GIRLS is produced Off-Broadway by Edmund Gaynes, The Black Gents, and The Layon Gray Experience.
