SOPHIA
(Beauty Meets the Invisible Man)

Write Act Repertory Eastside's Producing Artistic Director John Lant presents SOPHIA, with a celebrated limited engagement, opening Friday February 24th, and closing March 17th, 2012.

SYNOPSIS:
A comedic musical playing to the changing times of the 60's, featuring strong independent women as a predecessor to Mary Tyler (Moore) Richards and Rhoda Barrett (Valerie Harper). Our hero Sophia is a beautiful, articulate, sophisticated, bright, educated woman, whose blind spot is relationships. Her pattern is sequential frequent encounters with boyfriends, who depart after short term contact. Enlisting the help of her best friend Heather, Sophia tries therapy, with renowned expert Jake Kelly. Diagnosed with Beautiful Woman Syndrome, part of her rehabilitation is to recognize "every-hit-man" which has always led to a quick tryst. Sophia must learn about the forgotten majority of male society and try to focus on the invisible men, those who would never approach her, if she is to find true love. She develops the ability to handle her encounters with a non-descript forgettable man named George, who truly is the true man of her dreams.

Starring: *Evan Edwards, Mark Curtis Ferrando, *Courtney Glass, *Ryan Michael Hartman, James Ku, *Perri Lauren, Megan Magee, Alex Simmons, and Jenna Sisson
