First developed and produced by the Tony Award winning Barter Theatre for the 2011-2012 season, A Southern Exposure went on to productions from L.A. to Louisville with upcoming shows slated throughout the South. However, playwright Kelley Kingston-Strayer has restricted all theatrical productions in the Lone Star state until now.“Texas is my home,” she explained. “You want (creative) control of your own back forty. Know what I mean?”Acclaimed Director and founding member of the Rockwall Community Playhouse, Darlene Singleton, was hand-picked by Kingston-Strayer to direct the all-female, four member cast for the one night only performance at the First Baptist Church.Singleton, with well over 100 theatrical productions to her credit, is excited about the show. “I read a lot of scripts. It’s rare to find a new play that’s this good,” she said.The Honorable Mayor Eric Hogue will introduce the play. And the cast: Johnna Leigh, Deb Caperton Ballard, Abby Archibald McKinney and Stacy Kluttz , all veteran actors of the DFW area, will be on hand at 96◦ West winery to sign autographs after the show.When: Saturday, May 11, 2013 8 pm ONE NIGHT ONLY!
