With WATA’s latest play The Gingerbread Lady fresh out of the oven, the Ghostwriter went behind the scenes to see how the stage was set.

The story revolves around Evelyn “Evy” Meara (played by Sami Killian), a recovering alcoholic trying to get her life back together with her two friends Jimmy (played by Ben Holahan) and Toby (played by Caroline Burke). Jimmy, a failing actor and Toby, a vain housewife, have to deal with victories and failures which include dealing with an infuriating delivery boy, Manuel (played by Conor Bellone) estranged daughter Polly (played by Carolyn “Chip” Crimmins and Eva Plankey) and Evy’s ex-boyfriend Lou Tanner (also played by Conor Bellone).

The Gingerbread Lady will be performed in the WA PAC on March 22nd, 23rd and 24th at 3:00 and 7:00. A ticket is five dollars at the door.
