A Gift From Heaven
A Gift From Heaven
Written by David Steen and directed by Jim Holms
With Beth Grant, Tara Buck, Michael Petted, Tara Killian, and David O'Donnell
"Camelot Artist' revival is top-drawer in every aspect. Jim Holms' direction is flawless and Beth Grant's portrayal of the family's certifiable matriarch is staggeringly brave and amazingly multifaceted. Still, it is Tara Buck, as the sad-eyed daughter pushed away at every turn, who offers the most memorable performance, finding a subtle reality that transcends her dated dialogue."
-Backstage West
"This play's roiling subtext gets it's full due with bracing jolts of humor and horror jabbing out like bony fingers."
-Los Angeles Times
"Buck has a wonderful ability to embody both a burgeoning young beauty and a woman who is already exhausted by life, as if she is a precursor to the ravaged soul of her mother played by Beth Grant."
-Los Angeles Magazine
"Tara Buck gives a gut-wrenchingly skilled performance! A stunningly powerful play, this gritty drama is a must see for all avid theatre goers."
-Tolucan Times
* Tara Buck and Beth Grant both received 2005 Ovation Award Nominations for their performances in A Gift From Heaven
