The Ensemble Theatre Kicks Off 40th Anniversary Season Celebration

The Ensemble Theatre kicks off its 40th Anniversary Season with Sassy Mamas, a romantic comedy by Houston playwright Celeste Bedford Walker and directed by Eileen J. Morris, Opening Night and Media Reception, Thursday, September 22, 2016, 6:30 p.m.

"It's a play about empowerment for women and how they make their choices in life and to be open to different options at whatever season they're in," says Walker

NAACP Image Award-winning playwright Celeste Bedford Walker brings a delicate touch to her depiction of women of a certain age in her romantic comedy, SassyMamas. A story about three women-yes, "cougars"-who confidently purSue Younger men. These three friends, women of substance and life achievement, each finding herself in a uniquely single situation and decidedly takes a proactive approach to love. The younger men they've set their sights on come with their own unique situations that only add to the humor and antics!

"We can hardly contain our excitement as we kick off The Ensemble Theatre's 40th Anniversary," says Morris. "Sassy Mamas has been a lot of fun to direct and I can tell audiences are in for one hysterical ride!"

Cast members include: Detria Ward, Alice M. Gatling, Michele Harrell, Kedrick Brown, Roc Living, and Steve Scott.
