Priscilla Lopez to Join PEN PALS Opposite Pauletta Pearson at the DR2
Ms. Lopez and Ms. Washington will begin performances October 15–26 at the DR2 Theatre.
Tony Award winner Priscilla Lopez will join Pauletta Pearson Washington in Michael Griffo’s heartwarming play Pen Pals, taking on the roles of Mags and Bernie. Directed by Suzanne Barabas, Pen Pals features a dazzling rotating cast and celebrates the enduring power of friendship through handwritten letters exchanged over five decades. Ms. Lopez and Ms. Washington will begin performances October 15–26 at the DR2 Theatre.
Inspired by a true story, Pen Pals invites audiences into the lives of Bernie and Mags—two women whose bond, forged in adolescence, endures for decades without them ever meeting in person. A story of connection, resilience, and the unbreakable bond between friends, Pen Pals is as poignant as it is powerful.
