Theater faculty member Katjana Vadeboncoeur is directing an adaptation of Ann Bannon’s pulp novels, The Beebo Brinker Chronicles, with another theater faculty member Rhonda J. Soikowski as Beebo; theater alum Christopher Dodge is also involved. The Cherry Manhattan Presents production will have a four-week run at Re-Bar in September. The production also inspired The Beebo Brinker Pulp Cabaret, this coming weekend at ACT.
