THE MARVELOUS WONDERETTES, TRUE STORY OF THE 3 LITTLE PIGS! AND

SAME TIME, NEXT YEAR PART OF SUMMER REPERTORY

Supporting actress, musical role: Alison Luff

Role: Olive, Theatre Aspen's "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee"

Representative quote: Moore: "In this astute and wickedly funny musical, adult actors comically play children who have been damaged by adults. The saddest being Olive Ostrovsky, an insecure latchkey kid whose whose mom is off living in an ashram in India and her dad's ... well, busy. When you see Olive played by an adult, you often never see the lost soul of a child on stage; rather just a seriously funked-out adult actor. And it almost never works. Theatre Aspen's Alison Luff allowed us to see, just once in a while, that slight smile, an eye twinkle to remind us that Olive is still a kid, one with a glimmer of childlike wonder remaining. It's the difference between seeing a wonderful, hopeful performance and one that is incongruously dour for this musical. Luff got it right."

Aspen calls local actors home

THEATRE ASPEN'S 2009 cast will include two Broadway stars who cut their teeth at the Country Dinner Playhouse. Joan Hess, known at CDP as Joan Leslie Simms, and Beth Malone are among the ensemble that will perform The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and Chapter Two. Hess is the wife of CDP alum David Hess, who starred in last year's national touring production of "Sweeney Todd" at the Buell Theatre. She last appeared on Broadway in "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" (with yet another CDP alum, Rachel deBenedet).
Hess plays Rona, and Malone, who was in the 2006 Broadway "Ring of Fire" cast, plays Schwarzy in Spelling Bee. Hess also will appear in Chapter Two, and Malone will perform a solo Sunday night cabaret.
The Aspen ensemble also includes Jamison Stern, the televangelist in the Arvada Center's "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas," and other Broadway vets such as Sally Mae Dunn.
