After The Garden

Hello dear friends,,,

During the week between Christmas and New Years Eve 1978, Little Edie Beale took to the stage of a famous backroom nightclub called Reno Sweeney’s and made the only LIVE appearance of her lifetime.  I am so pleased to see that the following performance is coming to New York.

After the Garden – Edie Beale LIVE at Reno Sweeney will bring that show back to life!

Jeffrey Johnson as Edie Beale

Ganymede Arts is pleased to bring its World Premiere HIT production to the prestigious Joe’s Pub at the Public Theatre in New York City on Tuesday, December 29th at 7:30PM.

Written by Gerald Duval, Miss Beale’s manager for the original Reno Sweeney shows, After the Garden recaptures the laughs, the tears, the songs and the stories that filled the air those seven nights between Christmas and New Years Eve 1978.  Seven nights that have now become cult legend.

–Johnson “lovingly brings to life her enduring fey charm, curious accent, and pathological need for the spotlight.”  Washington Blade

–Johnson’s “spot-on performance brings Beale back to life”  MetroWeekly

Come see the show critics call:

“BRILLIANT”  Metro Weekly
“GRAND AND GRATIFYING”  CityPaper
“SPOT ON!”  Washington Blade

I’ll be attending with some friends and I encourage anyone who is in the New York area next week to come and relive this little moment in time, exactly thirty-one years later.
