Susanne Nelson Portrays Amelia, a Widow with Secrets

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.   Some of her favorite motion picture projects since her arrival in NYC are:  "Stepford Wives," "Clown Kill," and "Network News."  Recently, she completed a new film "Clearview."  She has been admired onstage as Christie Valentine in "Soccer Moms from Hell" as well as Sheila in  "A Chorus Line."  Blue-eyed Susanne is also a familiar face in commercials.

• • 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 be 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.
