Thinly Veiled
Thinly Veiled,a solo performance by Gail Marlene, will be performed at 135 Pearl in Burlington, at 8:00 on Saturday, March 18, and at 2:00 on Sunday, March 19. These special Women’s History Month performances are being produced by The Green Mountain Guild as a benefit for the Vermont Freedom to Marry Action Committee.
The play tells the story of Corinne, a young woman wrestling with her craving to wear The Dress, yet keenly aware of the social and political issues raised by a traditional wedding. Gail Marlene portrays Corinne at many different ages as her ideas about marriage evolve, as well as portraying all the women in Corinne’s life, from her domineering mother to a bridal shop saleslady to Corinne’s lesbian ex-lover.
The play is directed by Chris Tebbetts, who has worked with the Green Mountain Guild for much of its 28-year history, as well as Off Broadway and regionally.
