The Cast of The Rise Of Dorothy Hale to Ring the NASDAQ Stock Market Closing Bell


ADVISORY, Oct. 18, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) --



 What:
 The cast of The Rise Of Dorothy Hale, Michael Badalucco, Patrick
 Boll, Sarita Choudhury, Laura Koffman, Mark LaMura and Sarah Wynter
 will preside over the closing bell.

 History has recorded that Dorothy Hale, the widow of American
 muralist Gardner Hale, died in New York City on October 21, 1938
 after plunging sixteen stories from her apartment window at the
 Hampshire House on Central Park South. She was thirty-three years
 old. Dorothy's death was ruled a suicide.

 A new play by Myra Bairstow, the story of Dorothy Hale has never
 really been thoroughly examined. Until now. The Rise Of Dorothy Hale
 explores the life and death of Dorothy Hale through the creative
 process of Frida Kahlo and enables the contradictions in history to
 stand face to face. Did the alleged suicide note that Clare Boothe
 Luce claims to have received even exist? Why did Harry Hopkins involve
 the White House and two key players of the Roosevelt Administration to
 handle damage control around Dorothy's death? What possible secrets 
 did Dorothy know about Harry Hopkins and Clare Luce before she was 
 found dead? Was Dorothy Hale's death a suicide or a murder made to 
 look like a suicide?

 Performances are Monday, Wednesday through Saturday at 8 PM, with
 matinees Wednesday at 2PM and Saturday & Sunday at 3 PM at St Luke's
 Theatre (308 West 46th Street, between Eighth and Ninth Avenues).
