disorder. The play is an audacious high-wire act that takes
theatergoers on a tour of Hollywood, New York and the human heart,"
according to press notes.Gleason most recently appeared onscreen in the film The Island. Other film credits include The Crucible, Soap Dish, Basic Instinct, Lorenzo's Oil, 13 Going on 30 and A Cinderella Story.
She has also appeared in guest spots on numerous television series

City" and "Malcolm in the Middle."Tickets
