It has been 20 years since the last meeting of the Disciples of James Dean in McCarthy, Texas, not far from Marfa where the exteriors were shot for Giant, his last film. It has been 19 years and three months since Mona gave birth to James Dean’s son.
None of these women have lost their quirky ways and comic attitudes. With one hand on the Bible and one on the Orange Crush machine, Juanita still rules the Kressmont 5 & Dime, where the Disciples have gathered for their reunion. Sissy has come in from working at the Flyin’ H Truck Stop. Stella Mae, with her big mouth, and Edna Louise, with her simple ways, have driven over from Amarillo.
Characters from 20 years earlier show up in flashback to underscore the drama. But who is the beautiful stranger who parked the yellow Porsche across the street and seems to know all their business? That revelation comes early, but every one of these women has a secret that is revealed or sometimes forced out during the course of the evening. It’s a drama rated PG for adult language and adult situations.
This play was produced on Broadway (1982) and directed by Robert Altman who also directed the film version (1983) starring Sandy Dennis, Cher, Karen Black, Kathy Bates, Marta Heflin, and Sudie Bond.

Greater Tuna
RED MOLLY
Saturday, September 4 2010: Join us Labor Day weekend for a memorable performance by RED MOLLY with show opener Slim Chance and the Can't Hardly Play Boys. Show time: 7pm, tickets $25/$20.
Red Molly consistently brings concert-goers to their feet with stunning three-part harmonies, crisp musicianship and a warm, engaging stage presence. They have earned a devoted and ever-widening fan base, and have begun to tour nationally. Laurie MacAllister, Abbie Gardner and Carolann Solebello have a lot of fun on stage, and it's contagious.
The Boston Globe says: "Everything Red Molly sings is delivered with tick-tight arrangements, crystalline vocals, and caramel harmonies. But what is most striking is the ardor they bring to everything they do, whether snuggling into the sweet parochialism of an old spiritual, or the gritty pathos of a Gillian Welch tune. They come on less like stars strutting for their minions than pals sharing their favorite songs. In the friendly world of the coffeehouse, that remains a star-making quality."
