The Fat Lady Sings

Playwright Jean-Claude van Itallie (America Hurrah) has been a staple of La MaMa right from company's start in the early 1960s. Now the octogenarian Off-Off Broadway eminence returns to the teat with a play that aims arrows at decaying American myths about family, faith and money. David Schweizer (And God Created Great Whales) directs the world premiere, which stars adventurous opera star Lauren Flanigan opposite the always discomfiting Tony Torn.
