		Actress Linda Gray Kelley returns with part 2 of her acclaimed "Women of the Bible: the Good Girls and the Bad Girls". This sequel to her April 2012 performance of part 1 includes Delilah, Naomi/Ruth, Witch of Endor, Hannah, Bathsheba, and Esther. This contemporary, visual interpretation of the famous and infamous women of the Old Testament lets us observe these characters as if they lived next door. Kelley imbues them with nuances of seriousness and humor. Even the good girls are flawed, so there must be hope for us all. This event is suitable for adults and teens. Registration is recommended.
