We have decided to change the title from After
the Garden - Edie Beale LIVE at Reno Sweeney to just Edie
Beale LIVE at Reno Sweeney.
"Little Edie" Beale,
of Grey Gardens fame , performed a cabaret act at Reno Sweeney
in
New York City over the New Years
week
of 1978. Gerald Duval, Edie's producer 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
resulting in a not-to-be-missed, intimate evening of theatre.
Enjoy, experience, and
witness what happened when Edie Beale was LIVE at
Reno Sweeney.
