Echo Theatre, the Southwest’s only theater company dedicated to producing plays written by women, will present a special reading of Oil! by Tony- and Emmy-Award winning actor Tyne Daly. her credits include Cagney & Lacey (four Emmy Awards), Wings (Emmy nom.), Christy (Emmy Award), and Judging Amy (Emmy Award).
Oil! by Neil Tucker and Raelle Tucker will be performed on Thursday, June 5 and Friday, June 6 at 7:30 p.m. at the Bath House Cultural Center. The readings are free, but donations are welcome. Reservations are encouraged by calling 214-904-0500 or emailing echoreservations@att.net.
About Oil!: It’s 1982. Magritte Holes, the ailing, notoriously outrageous, matriarch of one of Houston’s most prominent oil families, has been hiding out in her bedroom for months. Guzzling whiskey, planning the annual Holes Barbecue, and developing an outlandish strategy to save Texas, and her family’s fortune from imminent collapse. Unfortunately, neither her high-profile guests or her colorful, dysfunctional family have any idea what she has in store for them. It is the story of a family, and a country, so desperate to hold on to what they have, that they are willing to sacrifice what matters most: each other.
