BELLES: a play in two acts and forty-five phone calls
The Walker sisters, born and raised in Memphis, now live in six different US cities and communicate solely by phone. The eldest, Peggy, who remained with Mama in Tennessee, calls her siblings when their mother is hospitalized – nothing serious, she just ate some bad tuna – but the phone calls lead to often comedic and sometimes brutal confrontations about the past and the present.
Proceeds from BELLES will benefit Joe’s House, a nonprofit organization providing a nation-wide online service that helps cancer patients and their families find lodging near treatment centers.

BELLES will be performed from March 19 – April 12 at the Lion Theatre, Theatre Row (410 W. 42nd Street, NYC) with performances Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm; Sundays at 3pm; and Mondays at 7pm. Tickets are $21.25 and are available at www.ticketcentral.com or by phone at 212-279-4200.
