SistaStyle Brings Atlanta Production of LOUIE & OPHELIA to Nashville's Darkhorse Theater

Fresh off a successful run in Atlanta, Louie & Ophelia-a new play by Gus Edwards, directed by Synthia Williams-moves to Nashville's Darkhorse Theatre for a January 6-14 run. Starring acclaimed Nashville playwright/actress/director/producer Mary McCallum and well-known Atlanta actor Keith Franklin, the Nashville production is presented by SistaStyle Productions in conjunction with Atlanta's New African Grove Theatre.

In the play, a working-class couple fall in love and struggle to maintain a relationship without giving up their old dreams, habits and commitments. Ophelia is described as "a cold go-getter fiercely devoted to the idea that her children become professionals," while Louie is a gregarious family man who just wants to build a home. "Louie & Ophelia paints a real, gently humorous portrait of contemporary love and its trials."

During the Atlanta run, Louie & Ophelia received the Atlanta Goldstar "Roar of the Crowd" award. 

Louie & Ophelia plays the Darkhorse Theatre, 4610 Charlotte Avenue, January 6-14, with Friday and Saturday night performances at 7:30 p.m. and a matinee on Sunday, January 8, at 4 p.m.

In Celebration of SistaStyle's 10^th Anniversary, tickets to each performance of Louie & Ophelia are "pay what you can."
