It's a gutsy story that mixes life's dramatic conflicts with wit and comedic overtones. This is very different from his usual comedies.</div> <bR> <div> Evy, a popular singer who hit the skids has just returned home from a stay in rehab. She is greeted by her age-defying best friend Toby, her 17 year old daughter Polly, and her gay actor friend Jimmy, who are there to help her adjust to sobriety while dealing with their own needs and crises. Enter a former lover Lou and Evy's fall off the wagon, and you have a group of misfits living on the razors edge. There is also a small, yet important, part for a 20 year old Spanish delivery boy.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B><U>The Cast</U></B></div> <bR> <div> Evy . . . . . . . . . .

Laurie M. via FaceBook</div> <bR> <div> "I saw Branch River Theatre's 'The Gingerbread Lady' last night..it's incredible! A rollercoaster ride of emotions..you'll laugh and cry. The intense quality of acting along with a gorgeous 1970's NY city apartment set take you on a bumpy ride experiencing the highs & lows of it's multi-layered characters. Amazing show..catch it if you can." ... Carol C. via FaceBook</div> <bR> <div> "You all were great. Susan and I went last night. Whew, very powerful !! GREAT acting !!! There were times you all gave me goose bumps. Hooray for community theater."  ... Brooks C. via FaceBook.</div> <bR> <div> "Branch River Theatre's "The Gingerbread Lady": First rate in every way. The performances were outstanding. Katrina Spenceman, who played Evy, should consider doing a Judy Garland tribute show. Well done, all! The excellence of BRT continues!" ...
