Legendary Academy Award and Golden Globe Winning Actress, Karen Black, in One Woman Show

Legendary Academy Award and Golden Globe Winning Actress Karen Black in one woman show for two nights only -- A View of the Heart.

The diversity and range of Black’s past roles on stage and screen do not begin to suggest the authority, pathos and humor this woman brings to what is modestly called a one-woman show.

The 90 minute show is a mix of spoken word and song, comedy and tragedy, cabaret and dramatic theater – and Black makes it work seamlessly. In a recent New York visit audiences demanded two standing ovations – if you missed it, you missed out.

Her voice is a revelation

She possesses enormous range and lung power. She also exhibits a wicked sense of humor.
