Marilu in rehearsals
Marilu is now in rehearsal to reprise her role in The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife.
Caroline Aaron plays the role of Marjorie Taub, and Marilu plays her mysterious old friend Lee. According to La Mirada, “The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife concerns the wife of a philanthropic allergist, who is engulfed in a life crisis of Medea like proportions. Her children are grown, her beloved therapist died recently and her mother grates on her nerves. She tries to lose herself in a world of art galleries, foreign films and avant-garde theatre, but finds she is barely able to rouse herself from her sofa. Marjorie’s spirits suddenly soar when Lee Green, a fascinating and somewhat mysterious friend from her childhood, appears on her doorstep.”
My friend Caroline and I have been dying to work together since we played sisters in Social Security on Broadway in 1987. We are so excited to be doing this show … AND carpooling to La Mirada each day because Caroline doesn’t drive freeways!
