Addison's WaterTower Theatre: 2009 Season

The 2009 season of Addison's WaterTower Theatre kicks off on October 1st with Grey Gardens the Musical. Book by Doug Wright, music by Scott Frankel; lyrics by Michael Korie.

Edith Bouvier Beale and her daughter "Little Edie" - the eccentric relatives of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis live behind the closed doors of a dilapidated mansion, alongside fifty cats and piles of rubbish.

Two shockingly different worlds are depicted inside the mansion walls: the resplendent Grey Gardens of 1941 and the Grey Gardens of 1973 - a crumbling shadow of its former self.

Based upon the groundbreaking documentary film by David and Albert Maysles, Grey Gardens is the hilarious and heartbreaking story of two women whose combative and codependent relationship is the one pillar in a constantly eroding house.

WaterTower Theatre is located at 15650 Addison Road, Addison TX 75001. Phone the box office for tickets at 972-450-6232, or purchase tickets online at www.watertowertheatre.org. Grey Gardens the Musical runs October 1st through October 25th.
