Alabaster at The Fountain Theatre

The Fountain Theatre presents the Los Angeles premiere of Alabaster, a funny and poignant new play about healing and the power of women. For three years since the death of her family in a tornado that left her covered in scars, June has been living and creating “outsider” art in an isolated Alabama farmhouse, with only her goats for company. When a New York photographer working on a series about women with scars arrives, the attraction between June and Alice is palpable — but what they need from each other transcends anything physical. Nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, named to “The Kilroy’s List” of excellent new plays by women, and winner of the Calicchio Prize, Alabaster is an irresistible comic drama about love, art and healing.
