Prairie Arts Council announces cast for upcoming production of ‘Delval Divas’

The Prairie Arts Council has announced the cast for its upcoming production of Delval Divas. The show was written by Barbara Pease Weber.

Director Ellen Marincic has cast Karin Hansen of Princeton as Stella, Jill Marti of Princeton as Linda, Kathy Hepner of Streator as Rosemary, Bobette Roberson of Ottawa as Sharon, Kelli Montgomery of Ottawa as Lucille, and Jennifer Walk of Hennepin as Beth.

Stella Wild, MBA;Linda Robertson, MD, PhD; Rosemary Adams, JD/MBA; and Beth Ziegler, MBA have some things in common. Besides being educated, successful and professional women, they also share the same address.

It isn’t a fancy high rise apartment building or a beachfront condo; they reside at the Delaware Valley Federal Correctional Facility, a low level security prison for ‘white and pink’ collar criminals.

Add in a new inmate charged with murder, a missing warden and the threat of being transferred to the less-than-glamorous Black Rock Federal Prison and he Divas look to save Delval, solve a murder and reunite on a Roman holiday.

Delval Divas will be performed on April 29, 30, and May 1, 2022 at the Prairie Arts Center located at 24 Park Avenue East, Princeton.

The Saturday performance will be a special “Divas Night Out.” as ladies are encouraged to grab their friends and join the organization for pre-show drinks and appetizers and view the April gallery exhibit. Sweet treats will be offered at intermission and a chance to meet the Divas following the show.

Tickets are available online at prairiearts.org, by emailing prairieartsprinceton@gmail.com or by leaving a message at 815-875-2787.

Delval Divas is presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc., a Concord Theatricals Company. The Prairie Arts Council acknowledges support from the Illinois Arts Council Agency and The Princeton Closet.
