Welcome Home, Jenny Sutter

Our final play of the weekend is a world premiere for OSF. After we saw Jenny Sutter, we were wiped out emotionally. But it was well worth it and really reminded us how powerful a live theater experience can be.

Buddy (David Kelly) gives one of his improvisational sermons in Slab City as Jenny Sutter (Gwendolyn Mulamba) listens. Photo: Jenny Graham. David Kelly has a great range, and is a hysterical comedic actor. Did I mention that this play only runs through June in Ashland and then will travel to the Kennedy Center in Washinton, DC in July.



Lou (Kate Mulligan) tries to provide a welcome home for her new friend Jenny Sutter. Photo: Jenny Graham. Kate is new to the company, but has a lot of experience in TV. Peter, do you recognize her from Judging Amy? Kate is also married to another company newcomer who plays the bad guy in the Clay Cart (btw he is also a UCLA grad, we're everywhere!)
