The Drowning Girls
Sargent Conservatory of Theatre Arts is pleased to announce their upcoming production of The Drowning Girls by Beth Graham, Charlie Tomlinson, and Daniela Vlaskalic. The Drowning Girls recounts the story of Bessie, Alice and Margaret, three of the many wives of George Joseph Smith, an Edwardian opportunist who made a living marrying women, taking out life insurance policies for them and subsequently drowning them in their baths. Three ghostly brides surface from bathtubs full of water, to gather evidence against their womanizing, murderous, husband by reliving the shocking events leading up to their deaths. As they make their case, they discover how they have been victimized not only by George Joseph Smith, but also by society at large. Full of rich images, a myriad of characters, a quirky sense of humor and lyrical language, The Drowning Girls is both breathtaking fantasia and social critique. The production will take place in Stage III in Webster Hall, Lower Level. (470 E Lockwood Ave, Webster Groves, MO 63119). Adult: $15.00 Non-Webster Student: $7.00 Senior: $7.00 Webster Alum: $7.00 Webster faculty and staff (2 per ID): $0.00 Webster Student (1 per ID): $0.00
