[PRICE: $15.] Come to the Studio Theatre 2ndStage for six performances July 18 – July 27 as Washington, D.C., Actor-Manager Hilary Kacser and Director Jessica Lefkow, creators of past Capital Fringe Festival sold-out shows, bring to life playwright Andrea Stolowitz' world premiere play, "TALES OF DOOMED LOVE (or is it ever worth it?)" at the 3rd Annual Capital Fringe Festival. Funny, biting, and heart wrenching, five reinvented classic stories turn love on its head in an intimate and emotional evening of theatrical storytelling. Stolowitz travels to Washington, D.C., from Oregon for her play’s CapFringe world premiere. "The best original script we saw in this region last year," The Triangle Independent called "Tales of Doomed Love" in development, citing "riveting if not prescient" connections to present-day geopolitics. Stolowitz’s plays have been developed and presented at such venues as The Old Globe and The Long Wharf. Lefkow’s "Margherita" sold out at CapFringe 2007, and she directs new play "Honey Brown Eyes" this autumn for Theater J. Dramatizing 2007 Nobel Laureate Doris Lessing’s memoir, Kacser’s "In Pursuit of the English: Rose" sold out at CapFringe 2006. DC Theatre Scene says, "Lessing imbued Rose with real and sympathetic characteristics, and Kacser captures every one of them. Kacser’s extraordinarily detailed characterization…is minutely observed and displayed to us with exquisite specificity." Since then Kacser has performed in acclaimed productions of "Dark Rapture" at Spooky Action and "Good Woman of Setzuan" and "The Oresteia" with Constellation. A graduate of Brown University, Kacser studied acting at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) and has performed widely in D.C., south Florida, and London. Known to a cult following for internet acting (www.DCLugi.tv), Dave Coyne completes the cast. Box Office Phone is: 866-811-4111. Studio Theatre 2ndStage is wheelchair accessible and air-conditioned.
