About:
Lavinia Draper, alcohol-soaked performer of a certain age, maintains her
dream despite the struggle. The strife of aging artists, most
particularly women, facing unrepentant discrimination and harassment,
and the resultant dysphoria and substance use, is profound. But Lavinia
is the rare hopeful dreamer who never gives up on herself and inspires
the audience to do the same. A one-woman show performed by Susan
Campanaro that shatters genre as deftly as the title character severs
the comic/tragic line. Brimming with hysterical comedy, dark sensitivity
and harsh reality, the play features a moving score by Lynn Portas.
