I AM VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR REVIEW ON THIS PRODUCTION, DONALD. I want to know, who is playing the part of Mrs. Watts? I loved Geraldine Page in that part.
I will unfortuanately be out of town that Friday, so I am
simply commenting for the heck of it!

Hi Janet,
Mrs. Watts is being played by Mary Piona.

Donald- Mary Piona is the BOMB, and exactly who I was hoping would be cast in the part.

Mary Piona IS the bomb! Not only is she an amazing actress, she is perhaps the most endearing, sincere, wonderful person I've ever met!
I don't know if you've ever interviewed her, Donald... but she's just the neatest person.

I agree with you, Claire. She has a heart of gold, and is
truly a "salt of the earth" and beautiful person. A few years back, she was featured in the Bee as a local person of interest in the agricultural community. She took over her family's small produce farm, I believe. Yes, she is definitely a MAGICAL woman!

Thanks Donald, thanks Beehive!

I am looking forward to seeing it. Second Space has the best drama and comedy shows of any theater in Fresno.
