ABET to Present THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING

By:

ABET to present THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING, starring ANNE KRAFT by Joan Didion, based on her memoir on JULY 8 at 8pm and 9 at 2pm.

General Tickets are $20 and Season Ticket Holders (2017-2018) pay $10. Show not included in season pass.

One of America's iconic writers, with electric honesty and passion, explores an intensely personal yet universal experience: a portrait of a marriage - and a life, in good times and bad - that will speak to anyone who has ever loved a husband or wife or child. Accomplished New York actress and St. Augustine native Anne Kraft brings this stunning work to life. This award-winning, autobiographical journey takes a poignant look at the shock and denial that have the power to guide us back to ourselves.

Winner! 2005 National Book Award for Non-Fiction

Finalist! Pulitzer Prize

Finalist! National Book Critics Circle Award

ANNE KRAFT

A St. Augustine native, Anne spent most of her life in New York City where she worked in theater, TV and film. After 30 years and a short stint in Hollywood CA, she found herself back in St. Augustine. Co-founder of the Limelight Theatre, she "retired" after 14 years only to get involved in other activities. She is currently VP/Treasurer of A Classic Theatre and on the Board of Romanza St. Augustine. She is also a ballroom dancer and dances competitively. A free-lance director and actor, she recently directed "Nunsense II" for the Flagler Playhouse and "Love Letters" for A Classic Theatre. In the past few months, Anne appeared as Kate in "Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe" and as Mme. St. Pé in "Waltz of The Toreadors" at the City Repertory Company in Palm Coast.
