Part-time Sedona resident and New York City actress Gail Bell is bringing her new theater project, Portable Productions to the Sedona area.
The hilarious two-person show performing Tennessee Williams “A Perfect Analysis Given By A Parrot” will play locally this spring from Thursday, March 27 to Saturday, April 5.
The name and premise of Portable Productions allows for instant theater by performing live theater with minimalist sets and maximum entertainment benefits.
High-quality, artistic expression becomes completely portable in theory as well as in practice. The series has been dubbed “Pub Plays” because the work is a 25-minute piece of programming being used in restaurants and clubs, at happy hours and as an appetizer to entertain guests before elegant, gourmet dinners — a model which has found great success in the Northeast.
Williams’ one-act play, “Parrot” is about two fading, over-dressed doxies who hit St. Louis looking for action during the annual convention of the Sons of Mars.
But, in their search for romance and a high old time, Bessie and Flora wind up separated from their party at a third-rate bar, drinking beer and trying hard to be cheerful.
Each soon finds fault with the other and the hilarity begins as they resign themselves to their misery. However, the audience is treated to a raucous glimpse into the psyches of aging Southern belles behaving badly.
Bell played alongside Alex Baldwin in Tennessee Williams’ “Night of the Iguana” and Rosemary Harris and Marion Seldes in “Ladies in Retirement,” both for Broadway’s National Actor’s Theatre.
Bell’s credits also include roles in numerous Off Broadway Shakespearean productions. She is the international spokeswoman for several consumer products, and can currently be seen as the psychiatrist grilling the assassin, Mark David Chapman, in the “Killing of John Lennon.”
In New York City Marion Markham, original founder of Portable Productions, has performed Off and Off-Off Broadway, and will soon be seen in the upcoming Indie film “Creating Karma.”
