Performance - American Chamber Players

Belle of Amherst starring Ginger Grace is an inspiring biographical portrait of a famous and eccentric spinster who is one of America's greatest literary figures (1,775 poems). Playwright William Luce creates an entertaining and anecdotal revelation of Dickinson's life and art. With a wicked sense of humor, Emily tweaks Victorian pretensions, performs deadpan impressions of the people around her and mocks her own idiosyncrasies. Ginger Grace stars as the passionate and mysterious poet who, though plain and reclusive, has an intoxicating exuberance for life.You may have seen Ginger Grace performing opposite Rich Little in the tour of The Presidents, playing all the first ladies from Jackie Kennedy to Hillary Clinton. Off-Broadway and in Regional Theatre she has starred in  Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Craig's Wife,  Mourning Becomes Electra, Dancing at Lughnasa,  Angel Street, A Midsummer Night's Dream and  Faust. She was Tommy Tune's Assistant for the original production of Cloud Nine. Ginger has also been seen in numerous commercials and heard in many radio spots.
