Kitchen Dog presents Dallas debut of ‘Alabaster’
Part of a record-breaking 11-theater rolling world premiere, Audrey Cefaly’s Alabaster featuring an all-female cast addresses the healing of scars and power of women. This somber, but slightly comic, southern drama follows June, who loses nearly everyone except her talking pet goat Weezy after a tornado rips through her hometown in Northern Alabama. June struggles to heal after the disaster after a prominent photographer arrives to capture the devastating remains. Previously, Cefaly used her native Alabama as the setting for her award-winning 2018 LGBTQ drama The Gulf.
