CRIMES OF THE HEART OPENS MARCH 1st! MEET THE CAST: CHRISTINE CALKINS
CRIMES OF THE HEART OPENS MARCH 1st
Tickets at www.RiverbendPlayers.org
MEET THE CAST: Christine Calkins
This is Christine’s second performance with Riverbend Players.
She finds joy in her fitness dance classes while beach walks with her family, and their two furry companions are a favorite.
She loves combining these strolls with collecting trash and leaving the coastline a little brighter.
Christine’s passion for her community shines through at her job at 1st Security Bank in Manzanita.
CRIMES OF THE HEART:
This darkly comedic play by Beth Henley delves into the messy lives of the Magrath women, each grappling with their own “crimes of the heart.”
Under a searing Mississippi sun, the Magrath sisters’ fragile lives shatter when Babe, the youngest, shoots her philandering husband.
Summoned home, the eldest, Lenny, wrestles with small-town stagnation and dreams of escape.
Meg, the middle sister, a washed-up singer, drowns her past in whiskey, returning with secrets clinging to her like Spanish moss.
As Babe’s legal storm brews, the kitchen of their childhood home becomes a pressure cooker of buried memories and blistering truths.
Past resentments erupt, revealing the scars of their mother’s suicide and their father’s desertion.
Their eccentric cousin Chick stirs the pot, while their flamboyant lawyer Barnette offers shaky legal support and a dash of unexpected romance.
This Pulitzer Prize-winning play paints a bittersweet portrait of Southern women struggling to rise above their “crimes of the heart” and embrace the promise of a brighter future.

With training and certifications in over a dozen healing modalities, she found the greatest relief through Energy Medicine. Sometimes it is hard to become unstuck. Using an array of energetic practices, her passion and gifts lie in facilitating healing on a deep energetic level for clients who want deeper peace, health, and wellness in their lives. When energetic flow is brought back into balance, we are more able to move forward and step into our Divine Self.
