Judson Theatre Company: Yes, Virginia

Mindy Sterling, of the Austin Powers movies, and Arnetia Walker, who has played all three of the main Dreams in Dreamgirls, play two older women in Detroit—a white divorcée and her Black former housekeeper—in a new holiday comedy by veteran sitcom writers Stan Zimmerman (The Golden Girls) and Christian McLaughlin (Married… with Children). Zimmerman directs the reading; tickets start at $20, and proceeds benefit North Carolina’s Judson Theatre Company and California’s Laguna Playhouse.
