WHAT opens Julie Harris Stage this weekend
There will be plenty to marvel at when the Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater inaugurates its Julie Harris Stage June 21 with the New England premiere of “The Clean House” by Sarah Ruhl. There is, of course, the theater itself, a new, state-of-the-art showplace. There is the play, a Pulitzer Prize finalist that earlier this year earned critical and audience acclaim in its Lincoln Center run. And there is Jessica Pimentel, a rising New York stage and screen actress who just may have found the perfect role for her mix of intelligence, skill and spirit.
Pimentel, 29, stars as Matilde, a young Brazilian woman new to the U.S. hired to keep house for a wealthy couple. By telling jokes to fend off loneliness and keep her joy alive, the young woman ends up affecting the lives of her employers in unforeseen, human ways.
For more about the play and an interview with the actress, see the June 21 Provincetown Banner. Also in the Banner, see the stories below.
