Fells Point Corner Theatre Closes the Curtain on ELEEMOSYNARY, 4/11

Fells Point Corner Theatre will close its run of Eleemosynary, written by Lee Blessing and directed by Sherrionne Brown, on April 11th.

Eleemosynary probes into the subtle and often perilous relationship between three singularly remarkable women: the grandmother, Dorothea, who has sought to assert her independence through strong-willed eccentricity; her brilliant daughter, Artie, who has fled the stifling domination of her mother; and Artie's daughter Echo, a child of exceptional intellect - and sensitivity - whom Artie has abandoned to an upbringing by Dorothea.
