TOP GIRLS at OmniArts Nebraska

OmniArts Nebraska is thrilled to be continuing its 8th Season of productions: STORYTELLERS, with the truly original, darkly comic play, Top Girls, by Caryl Churchill.Marlene has been promoted to managing director of a London employment agency and is celebrating. The symbolic luncheon is attended by women in legend or history who offer perspectives on maternity and ambition. In a time warp, these ladies are also her co-workers, clients, and relatives. Marlene, like her famous guests, has had to pay a price to ascend from humble roots to the executive suite: she has become, figuratively speaking, a male oppressor, and even coaches female clients on adopting odious male traits. Marlene has also abandoned her illegitimate and dull-witted daughter. Her emotional and sexual life has become as barren as Lady Macbeth's.Top Girls features an all-female cast including Erin Mundus as Marlene, Maribel Cruz, Shawnee Johns, Sophia Delaney, Jillian Carter, Katy Morehouse, Allison Mollenkamp, and Elizabeth Govaerts. The production is directed by Jessie Porter. Audience members may remember Jessie for the many roles she has performed as an actor, but this is her directing debut with OmniArts. The stage manager/technical director is Dustin Witte. Original graphic art for the production is by Danny Reneau. Top Girls offers a blistering yet sympathetic look at women who achieve success by adopting the worst traits of self-made men. Top Girls is presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc., a Concord Theatricals Company. This production contains mature content.
