Set in a small town in Wisconsin, it traces the experience of Miss Lulu Bett, the 34-year-old unmarried sister of Mrs. The story is engrossing and builds up to a shattering climax. Helmed by Kathleen Brant, this social drama is showing its age, but its amazing spirit is still intact. Who would have thought that Zona Gale's Miss Lulu Bett would be getting new legs? Although it's been 10 years since its last New York production, this 1921 Pulitzer Prize winner is being staged at the Workshop Theater Company's Main Stage to celebrate Women's History Month.
