Hackensack's Boz and the Bard Productions, Inc. Brings Back Acclaimed Hit
"Miss Lizzie A. Borden Invites You to Tea" For Halloween

Come hear the makings of a true horror story

In “Miss Lizzie A. Borden Invites You To Tea,” by Marjorie Conn, Lizzie is an aging, lonely spinster, in 1913. Twenty one years after the murders of her parents, the notoriety of her trial has waned and her status as 'social celebrity' has faded. She’s been forgotten by all but a handful of hungry local journalists, and a bitter, taunting few. In this one-woman tour-de-force, starring Karen Asconi of Jersey City, we witness Lizzie's powerful lust for freedom and learn how such a yearning can drive one to acts of unimaginable desperation.

Boz and the Bard Productions, Inc. is proud to bring back our critically acclaimed production of “Miss Lizzie A. Borden Invites You To Tea” to the Fair Lawn Community Center for a special, co-sponsored, limited engagement. Ms. Asconi’s “...fascinating, high-strung performance...under Frank Avellino’s taut direction...is a worthwhile experience,“ claimed Peter Filichia, of The Star Ledger afer reviewing the 2004 production in Hackensack.

Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 PM and Sundays at 2:00 PM, October 19-21 and 26-28, 2007, at the Fair Lawn Community Center, 10-10 20th St., Fair Lawn, NJ. There will be a special Q&A after each Saturday performance. Tickets are $20.00 in advance, $25 at the door. For tickets call 866-811-4111 or visit www.bozandthebard.com for more information.
