I've been a friend and comrade of Beth's for about 20 years and although I have ALWAYS admired her talent... I was speechless after the play. The acting was superb and devastating. Some audience members left during intermission, but I am convinced they couldn't take the truth that was being shown to them in the story!! And Del Shores is an spectacular writer... so powerful, but so touching...and seemingly, having spoken to him afterwards for a while, a wonderful human being. The closing night fried chicken and pie wasn't a bad deal either!!Written on Aug 09 2006
Thanks for the night and the experience. Susan Damante

Description
<p>The entire original cast from The Trials and Tribulations of a Trailer Trash Housewife, including Beth Grant (Donnie Darko, Sordid Lives, Little Miss Sunshine), Dale Dickey (Domino, My Name is Earl), soulful rocker turned dance diva Debby Holiday (Dive, Half A Mile Away), Octavia Spencer (Beauty Shop, Coach Carter, Wannabe), and David Steen (A Gift From Heaven, Avenue A), is returning for the limited six week engagement. </p> <p>The play explores the hidden emotions, shame, and secrecy battered women face, while also offering hope, healing, and truth. A delicate blend of frightened humor and pain, it delves right into the heart of abuse. In just a mere two hours audiences will journey into a world that could fill a lifetime. Explosive one-sided arguments erupt and build, until one disastrous night it all goes too far and the lives of those in the trailer park will never be the same. </p> <p>In 2003, The Trials and Tribulations of a Trailer Trash Housewife was the winner of more than 14 Los Angeles Theatre Awards, including Best Production, Best Lead Performance – Beth Grant, and Best World Premiere from the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle; Best Lead Actress – Beth Grant from the Ovation Awards; Best Production and Best Playwright from the NAACP Theatre Awards; Best Production, Best Playwright, Best Direction, Best Lead Performance – Beth Grant, and Best Supporting Performance – Dale Dickey, from the Back Stage West Garland Awards; and Best Playwright, Best Supporting Actor – David Steen, Best Ensemble – Beth Grant, Dale Dickey, Debby Holiday, Octavia Spencer, David Steen, from the L.A. Weekly Awards. </p> <p>A Season of Shores is a revival of all six Del Shores plays, including the GLAAD Award-winning Southern Baptist Sissies, the 10th Anniversary production of Sordid Lives, his 1984 play Cheatin’, the 1987 hit Daddy’s Dyin… Who’s Got the Will?, the 1993 favorite Daughters of the Lone Star State, and 2003’s NAACP winner The Trials and Tribulations of a Trailer Trash Housewife. </p>
