<body><div>QUINCY — A struggling young actress unexpectedly enters the orbit of a Hollywood legend and discovers that working with an icon can be every bit as unpredictable, complicated and gloriously unhinged as one might imagine.Quincy Community Theatre will present FAMOUS, a funny and poignant true story written and performed by New York City actor Sandra Bauleo, in QCT’s Black Box Theatre. Performances are Friday, Aug. 28, at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, Aug. 29, at 2 p.m.Conceived by Bauleo and director Thomas Caruso, FAMOUS explores the extraordinary working relationship that develops between a young actress trying to find her footing and a larger-than-life Hollywood personality. Along the way, Bauleo transforms into many distinct characters, bringing a remarkable cast of personalities and one unforgettable chapter of her life to the stage. Blending humor, heart, and a firsthand perspective, FAMOUS takes audiences beyond the glamour of Hollywood to reveal the strange, complicated, and often hilarious realities of ambition, collaboration, and life in the entertainment industry.“We are humbled and honored to have these renowned professionals bringing FAMOUS to our Blackbox space this August,” says QCT artistic director, Ethan Nienaber. “It is such a privilege to open our space to this visionary team so they can continue to develop this show before pursuing a New York production. QCT is proud to support the living artists making significant contributions to the canon of American theatre and I am thrilled that our audiences will be some of the first in the country to see this hilarious and heartfelt story.”Each performance will be followed by a 20–30-minute talkback moderated by Nienaber.
