TX: MainStage Irving-Las Colinas is pleased to announce the cast and performance

Of
the whimsical romantic comedy, Director Rose Anne Holman
states, “After having survived the last two years of gloom and doom all around
us, I'm thinking that Enchanted April is what we all could
use. Women who are feeling lost in their everyday lives rediscover
themselves, so this is more than a vacation story, a perfect dream holiday at a
beautiful Mediterranean villa. Discontent vanishes, love is found,
troubled marriages are healed, and kindness grows.” Holman concludes, “This
show is filled with wit, romance, and rebellion which gives the actors
absolutely delicious lines to deliver as the play unfolds. I believe that
this story reminds us that we can have rich, meaningful lives if we dare to
step out of our comfort zones and reach for happiness and follow our hearts.”

Under the Mediterranean sun, four women clash, and
