Feb. 14-17
Red Door Theatre presents ‘Fair and Tender Ladies’ Union Springs’ Red Door Theatre begins its tenth year with a Feb. 14-17 Valentine’s weekend production of “Fair and Tender Ladies.” Director Fiona Macleod reflects, “I have seldom been so in love with a play, and this is it. It has everything to tug at your hearts, make you laugh and get
misty-eyed; but far from letting us judge our fellow humans, this play explores the human condition and lets us love, forgive and respect each other with the dignity each human should deserve.” In this production, audiences meet Ivy Rowe, a strong-willed and passionate Appalachian woman in love with words, life and her home on Blue Star Mountain. The story and music of “Fair and Tender Ladies” celebrate the traditions of the Virginia mountains and Ivy’s vibrant spirit and explore the loves, losses, dreams and sacrifices that marked her life. Admission for the play is $15 and dinner is also $15. Call 334-738-8687 for more information, or visit www.reddoortheatre.org.
