Hit Comedy BAKERSFIELD MIST Extends Through 1/30 at Fountain Theatre

By:

Jenny O'Hara (Transparent, The Mindy Project) and Nick Ullett (As the World Turns,The Big Bang Theory) reprise the roles they created in a revival of Stephen Sachs' smash hit comedy that premiered at the Fountain, then went on to see productions around the world including London's West End.

Maude Gutman, an unemployed, chain-smoking ex-bartender living in a run down California trailer park, believes the painting she bought in a thrift store for $3 is really an undiscovered masterpiece worth millions. When stuffy New York art expert Lionel Percy arrives to evaluate the work, the result is a fiery and often hilarious debate over class, truth, value and the meaning of art. Inspired by true events.

Written and Directed by Stephen Sachs
Starring Jenny O'Hara and Nick Ullett
Produced by Simon Levy and Deborah Lawlor
Presented by The Fountain Theatre
