Stars in a staged reading of

A WOMAN OF INDEPENDENT MEANS

by Elizabeth Forsythe Hailey

 directed by Patricia Vanstone

Sponsored by The Weaver Family Foundation

Saturday, FEBRUARY 27 at 2:00pm

Sunday, FEBRUARY 28 at 2:00pm

This best-selling sensation is the portrait of a woman with all her strengths, frailties and victories combined. At the turn of the century, a time when women had few choices, Bess Steed Garner inherits a legacy - not just of wealth. Spanning the first seven decades of the 20th century, this timeless theater piece moves between laughter and tears and is told through the letters of a determined, endearing Texas lady as she confronts life's inevitable losses while continuing to embrace its endless possibilities.

TICKETS: $25 general public | $20 Theatre Jacksonville subscribers

WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING...

"A theatrical miracle. By the last letter we would march through fire for her." ~ Los Angeles Times

"Bess Steed Garner is emblematic of the fierce courage and independent spirit of that force with which to be reckoned, the emerging American Woman of the 20th Century." ~ South Pasadena Review

"Susan Clark is an amazement, an object of delight and awareness, from whom we cannot take our eyes." ~ Back Stage West

SUSAN CLARK studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (London) and worked in the English repertory system in York, Newcastle, and at the Sunderland Shakespeare Festival. Upon returning to her native Canada, she appeared in Hay Fever at the Crest Theatre, and Man and Superman and Misalliance at the Shaw Festival. She also starred in six CBC Festival productions, including The Taming of the Shrew, Mary of Scotland and Hedda Gabler. A contract with Universal Studios brought Susan to L.A., where she starred in 20 feature films, including "Tell Them Willie Boy is Here," "Coogan's Bluff" and "Night Moves." Susan starred in 150 episodes of the hit comedy "Webster." She also appeared in 15 Movie of the Week's, including "Babe" (Emmy® Award), "The Choice," "Amelia Earhart" (Emmy® Nomination) and "Butterbox Babies" (Gemini Nomination). Susan frequently returns to her stage roots. Her American stage credits include The Second Man and Sherlock Holmes at the Williamstown Playhouse, The Animal Kingdom and Amphitriyon 38 at the Mark Taper Forum, Macbeth at Seattle Repertory Theatre, the West Coast premiere of Afterplay (directed by David Saint) at The Pasadena Playhouse and the Canon Theatre, The Lion in Winter and The Vortex at Walnut Street Theater, and The Sisters Rosensweig at the George Street Playhouse in New Jersey. Susan's credits at the Rubicon Theatre in Ventura, CA include Amanda in The Glass Menagerie, Mrs. Dudgeon in Shaw's The Devil's Disciple, Kate in Dancing at Lughnasa, Lady Bracknell in The Importance of Being Earnest, and Cousin Sook in Rubicon's holiday fundraiser A Christmas
 Memory (with Robert Morse, directed by her friend Henry Polic, II).
