OLEANNA is an intense play about political correctness and sexual harassment. It’s the kind of show that requires seasoned and intelligent actors. That’s exactly how director Jim Walker cast this production of the play which will open in Sutton at the Landmark Studio for the Arts with an additional performance in Charleston during FestivALL as well as in Clarksburg. It is a performance that is not to be missed if you like serious and thoughtful theatre.
