Beth Henley's Abundance Opens at the Actors Company Theatre

The Actors Company Theatre's revival of Beth Henley's 1990 drama Abundance celebrated its opening night on March 1 at The Beckett Theatre at Theatre Row. Directed by co-artistic director Jenn Thompson, the production runs through March 28.

In Abundance, two mail-order brides are lured to the plains of Wyoming by the promise of new beginnings. As wild and unpredictable as the untamed West itself, their adventure spans 25 years, unearthing along the way the dark underside of American mythology and the unbreakable bonds of female friendship.

The cast is made up of Kelly McAndrew, Tracy Middendorf, Jeff Talbott, Todd Lawson, and Ted Koch. The creative team comprises Wilson Chin (sets), Tracy Christensen (costumes), Philip Rosenberg (lights), and Toby Algya (sound). Erin Gioia Albrecht is production stage manager,and Kelly Burns is assistant stage manager.

Abundance premiered at South Coast Repertory in 1989 before moving to Manhattan Theatre Club, where it played 52 performances. TACT’s production will be the first time that the play has been seen in New York in 25 years.
