A Smart Girl's Guide to Risk and Return at Vandy's Neely Auditorium
Thoroughly Modern Maiden
by Martin Brady
Victoria Stewart's theater career was pointed toward stage managing and directing until her enrollment in the Iowa Playwrights Workshop. Since earning her MFA in 2002, she's been cited via numerous awards and grants as a writer to watch. The recipient of the 2008-2009 Martha R. Ingram Artist-in-Residence: New Work for the Theatre Fellowship, Stewart has spent time in Nashville honing this contemporary tale about a woman and her relationships with men, her mother and money. The play, inspired by the Henry James novel Washington Square, will be presented in a staged reading under the direction of Tennessee Repertory Theatre artistic director Rene Copeland, featuring a cast of distinguished local actors: Jamie Farmer, Wesley Paine, Patrick Waller and Martha Wilkinson. Admission is free for current Rep season subscribers; minimum $5 donation for all others. The reading is presented in partnership with Vanderbilt University's Theatre Department.
