October 2014 The Small Room At The Top Of The Stairs
A Pittsburgh Theater Premiere
Written by: Carole Frechette
Directed by: Ingrid Sonnichsen
With: Ken Bolden*, Sharon Brady*, Daina Michelle Griffith*, Amy Landis*, Amanda Brooke Lerner*.

She stumbled into a fairy-tale marriage complete with her own Prince Charming and resplendent mansion, but it could all come apart if she chooses to defy his wishes. Can Grace resist temptation, and other’s voices ringing in her ears, or will she let her curiosity get the best of her and confront the secrets of the man she loves?
