Once a family of comfortable wealth, the Gordon's now find themselves facing a looming financial crisis. The only asset left is the family's Texas estate but matriarch Stella is determined not to divide the 100 year old property. Her three children have other ideas and set out to convince Stella to go with their plan and come into some money. Old resentments and sibling rivalries surface as the members of this quirky, dysfunctional family connive to see who will claim the biggest piece of the pie in Dividing the Estate.

The cast features: Leigh Miller (Son); Rachel Fowler (Lucille); Anne Oberbroeckling (StElla Gordon); Ghandia Johnson (Mildred); Kristen Adele (Cathleen); Russell Costen (Doug); Mark Rubald (Lewis Gordon); Gabra Zackman (Pauline); Sharon Kay White (Mary Jo); Devon James (Emily); Emma Carpenter Martin (Sissie); Michael McNeill (Bob) and Ella Tieze (Irene Ratliff).

Since its opening in July 1976, the award winning Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities has grown to become one of the nation's largest multidisciplinary arts centers, devoted to all aspects of the arts and generously supported in part by the City of Arvada, the Scientific & Cultural Facilities District (SCFD) and Colorado Creative Industries. The Arvada Center is located at 6901 Wadsworth Blvd. and provides free parking for all its patrons. For more information go to www.arvadacenter.org or call 720-898-7200.
