    Pandora Theatre is pleased to announce the premiere production of its 2011-2012 season will be String of Pearls, by Michele Lowe, produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois. String of Pearls opens Friday, October 7, 2011 and runs through Saturday, October 22, 2011. Performances are Friday and Saturday evenings at 8:00 p.m. at the Midtown Art Center located at 3414 LaBranch at Holman, in midtown Houston.

    Co-directed by Pandora Theatre founding members Melissa Mumper and Abby Esparza, String of Pearls explores the possibilities that open up in the lives of an array of women as they come into contact with a certain strand of pearls. While the pearls are stolen, bought, bestowed, unstrung and nearly lost, a handful of actresses portray 27 different characters in this deeply moving drama that is as fresh as it is funny.

    On the eve of her granddaughter Amy's wedding, Beth asks to see the pearls she gave Amy's mother long ago. When Amy cannot produce them Beth determines to find the pearls. She takes us back to the time when she received them and then gave them to her daughter, who passed them on to her dearest friend Ela who lost them one Sunday morning. Spanning 35 years, the pearls touch the lives of mothers and daughters, sisters and friends, even husbands and wives as they weave a deeply affecting story of love and loss.
