Award Winning Solo Comedy Returns To NYC For Special Engagement
Online, July 19, 2011 (Newswire.com) - (New York, NY) - The award-winning solo comedy Miss Magnolia Beaumont Goes to Provincetown, written and performed by Joe Hutcheson and directed by Cheryl King, returns to New York for a special engagement at the Triad Theater on Thursday, August 18th at 7:00pm. Miss Magnolia Beaumont Goes to Provincetown recently returned from a sold-out run with the 2011 Cincinnati Fringe Festival and garnered the Critic's Pick of the Fringe Award. The show also appeared in the 2010 New York International Fringe Festival at the Studio at Cherry Lane Theatre, receiving critical acclaim and a FringeNYC Overall Excellence Award.
Miss Magnolia Beatrice Devareux Beaumont, a Civil War era Southern debutante, has choked to death on the meat of a pork rib, only to find herself suddenly inhabiting the body of a thirty-something, gay New Yorker (to whom she refers as Master Joseph) on his way to Provincetown, Massachusetts for a birthday vacation. But before Miss Beaumont can quietly get used to Master Joseph's cosmopolitan, gay lifestyle, an offensive painting suddenly jolts her into his awareness. After the initial shock and a few disagreements, the two spend the rest of their trip discussing the deeper meanings of life, why they were brought together, and why a simple kite can be such a magical thing. More than a monologue, Miss Magnolia Beaumont Goes to Provincetown is a modern comic fantasy celebrating the beauty and magic of P-town.
