“Eleemosynary” – OutCast Black Box Theater

Staged with utmost simplicity, using platforms and a few props, “Eleemosynary” by playwright Lee Blessing probes into the delicate relationship of three singular women: the grandmother, Dorothea, who has sought to assert her independence through strong-willed eccentricity; her brilliant daughter, Artie (Artemis), who has fled the stifling domination of her mother; and Artie’s daughter, Echo, a child of exceptional intellect—and sensitivity—whom Artie has abandoned to an upbringing by Dorothea.
One theater goer said of the show, “It’s been awhile since I’ve seen a show where every element was so carefully considered and presented; so creative. Of course, the script is tasty. but all three actors just knocked it out of the park!”
