Rain Pryor News

The Strand Theater Company welcomes Baltimore playwright, performing artist, and educator Deletta Gillespie with her original show, What A Girl Wants. Start with seven women preparing for a charity clothing sale and fashion show. Add copious amounts of coffee, wine, arguments, gossip, a copy of Playstud magazine, and an eight-hour deadline, and you have the recipe for a comic romp through the minds and lives of women, who have lived enough to know exactly what they want out of life...or...not. The cast includes Peg Nichols, Erica Poe, Signe Renn, Cheri George, Renee Timms, Tiffani Bliss Brown, and Lisa F. Scott, with Monica Clory understudying the role of Patience, played by Erica Poe.
