‘Hush Up Sweet Charlotte’ play dates, times and ticket info
Play: Hush Up Sweet Charlotte
Playwrights: Matthew Martin and Steve Murray
Synopsis: Charlotte Hollis lives in a woefully run-down antebellum plantation in Ascension Parish, Louisiana. The aged and crazed southern belle has been ostracized for decades by the surrounding community because they suspect that she murdered her lover (a neighbor’s husband) for ending their affair. Since that time many decades ago, her only companion has been her loyal, trailer trash maid, Velma.
As the play opens, Charlotte finds herself in dire straits. Condemned, the 
mansion is about to be torn down and neither Charlotte nor Velma know what to do. So Charlotte calls her cousin for help, but when Miriam shows up, she brings along the family physician so that he can have Charlotte committed. As the situation spirals out of control, Charlotte must not only fight to save the family homestead, but her sanity and freedom as well.
