Event highlights

  • The Ladies Quintet was originally performed last fall at the Dean Lescher Regional Center for the Arts as The Ladies Quartet, garnering 3 Shellie Award nominations.
  • "Playwright Kathryn G. McCarty has taken a remarkable change in direction with her latest work... a quintet of short, solo works that are as achingly introspective as they are engaging... They range from touchingly funny... to the bittersweet poignancy... There is considerable laughter in all of the pieces, but it comes in bursts, between bouts of sadness and bitterness and the other emotional condiments that season a well-lived life..." --Bay Area Critics Circle and Contra Costa Times Critic Pat Craig
  • "McCarty has created living portraits of older women who shake the humor out of life - catching absurdity the younger generation might be too angst-ridden to notice....There's a lot to learn from these broads...."  Editor's Pick, Callboard Magazine
