World Premier Production “Eccentricity blossoms at
Garden”
Johnson’s Little Edie is “both tragically grand and gratifyingly
eager to please”
After the Garden “is rather touching”
CityPaper "the gift that keeps
on giving"
Johnson "lovingly brings to life her enduring fey charm,
curious accent, and pathological need for the spotlight."
Washington Blade “Ganymede
Arts have turned what some would see as lemons into a perfect
lemon-drop martini.”
“ It's Queen Lear.”
Johnson’s “spot-on performance” attempts
to bring Beale “back to life”
“ After the Garden is a party and Johnson's Beale is the life of
that party.”
“ The show is funny and candid and full of brilliant comedic
writing.”
MetroWeekly A "spot-on recreation”
A “piece of reconstructive impersonation that feels just right”
“intriguing”
Johnson gives “an accurate recreation”
POTOMAC
STAGES After The Garden "is
a reminder of how much we've missed their (Ganymede Arts')
presence on the scene”
“Johnson does a fine Beale, with glimmers of self-realization that make
her even more fascinating.”
A "fitting tribute”
DCist.com "A Brilliant
Documentary Becomes Great Theater "
“ Jeffrey Johnson does a tremendous job…”
“ I know it’s not her up there, but I’m transported,
I can believe it’s her, and that’s rewarding.”
“ well-paced and enjoyable”

in New York City over the New Years week of 1978. Gerald Duval, producer of
Little Edie Beale during the time of her appearance at Reno Sweeney has re-created
the essence of those magical nights using dialogue, songs, and text from the
historic event in addition to conversations that took place following the 1978
appearance creating an intimate evening of theatre. Enjoy, experience, and
witness the continued story of what happened “After the Garden”. Featuring the original
