The Clean House - Suca's Play

As most of you know, Susie was cast for the part of Ana in The Clean House, a play by Sarah Ruhl, directed by Rebecca Remaly.

The play is about a maid who hates cleaning and dreams about creating the perfect joke. A doctor who treats cancer leaves his heart inside one of his patients. A woman who keeps her house in order realizes her life is a mess. This is a play of uncommon romance and uncommon comedy by "a playwright with a unique comic voice, perspective, and sense of theater" (Variety).

Sue's character, Ana: Here's the audition description:
"An Argentinian woman, 50's-60's. She is impossibly charismatic. In Act I, she plays Matilde's mother. Must be proficient with Argentinian accent, and quick to learn scripted Spanish text."

We could only take pictures after the play, but you'll still get a feel for the cozy, intimate set environment. We also laughed out loud, felt sad, almost cried.... along with the rest of the audience. The cast took us there, they transported us.

Greeting the audience after the Play


Sue was an incredibly endearing ANA. I told her that watching her on stage made me want to be hug her, be her best friend. I wanted to go do things with all tose women on the play. Joe and I really enjoyed it.

You'll have to go see it to find out why the set is so messy.

Familia,
One more very important note.
Sue's music was used for the play. It's ALL her originals and it's PERFECT for The Clean House.

Thanks for the post Handy, they did use my cd for background music while folks were being seated and during the intermission, but I got to custom make bits and pieces of cool music for the scene changes and also short pieces for some scenes. I'm really going to miss that play, it has been very enjoyable.

Awesome! Sue - how did it come to be that they used your music? When is the last show?
