Susanne Discusses a Fascinating Widow

The cast for "Naked Came the Painting," a one act comedy by LindaAnn Loschiavo, has been rehearsing during October in Manhattan's theatre district for a premiere next Wednesday.
• • In the cast are: Lila Smith [MEREDITH], Susanne Nelson [AMELIA], and David A. Green [Mr. ZIMBATATTA].
• • Shela Xoregos directs.
• • Chosen to portray AMELIA, actress Susanne Nelson  was born and raised on the West Coast, and has worked in film, TV, and theatre since her teens.   Blue-eyed Susanne is also a familiar face in commercials.
• • Here's an excerpt from an exclusive interview with the actress Susanne Nelson, who will portray Amelia, the fascinating widow who often posed nude for her artist lover. 
• • • • QUESTION: What made some things you like about AMELIA and what are some things that make you empathize with this character, Susanne?
• • • • SUSANNE NELSON said:  AMELIA in "Naked Came the Painting" is an independent woman who knows about love and loss. And has great humor along the way. And is a nurturer at heart.  I can identify with all of that.
• • In the play, prudish MEREDITH is shocked to see a nude oil painting in the lobby of the modest inn operated by her widowed mother AMELIA.  Ah, the panic of the unchosen.  This confrontation will expose long-hidden secrets — — and things will never e the same.  
• • This spirited three-character comedy — — that explores the boundaries between art and artifice — — will make its debut at the 2010 Harvest One-Act Play Festival.  Variations Theatre Group will offer performances between November 10th — 20th, 2010 at the recently renovated LABA Theatre at the 14th Street Y.
