WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Acclaimed film, television and theater star, Polly Draper, returns to the stage in this new drama about sex, drugs, rock and roll and the challenges of motherhood. She stars as Cat Venita, a rock star, who struggles to keep her family together in the rough and tumble music world. Getting Into Heaven is the deeply moving story of a modern
family. This world premiere is presented by The Flea.

Draper is most memorably known as a cast member of television's thirtysomething series. Her recent New York City appearances include The Exonorated, The Flea's production of The Guys, the Broadway
production of Closer and Blur at Manhattan Theater Club.

NO LATE SEATING.
