'L'Imitation of Life' through May 6
2018-04-04

Hell in a Handbag Productions will kick off its 2018 season with a revival of its 2013 hit L'Imitation of Life—a parody of the 1959 film Imitation of Life, about race, mothers and daughters.

The production will run through May 6 at Stage 773, 1225 W. Belmont Ave.

L'Imitation of Life will feature Handbag ensemble member Ed Jones as Lana Turner, with Robert Williams as Annie Johnson—two very different women raising their daughters in a world made for a man.

Tickets are currently on sale at HandbagProductions.org ( through Stage 773 ) or 773-327-5252.
