tage, film and television actress Ginnifer Goodwin (“Big Love”, He’s Just Not That Into You) will play Carnelle Scott in an industry reading of Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Beth Henley’s comedy THE MISS FIRECRACKER CONTEST this Thursday, April 28th. Tony Award winning actress Judith Ivey directs.
THE MISS FIRECRACKER CONTEST is the story of Carnelle Scott (Goodwin), a young, rebellious, and slightly unruly woman living in the small town of Brookhaven, Mississippi. Carnelle desperately wants to win the local Miss Firecracker Contest, convinced that it will restore her reputation and allow her to leave Brookhaven in “a crimson blaze of glory”. As she works her way towards the coveted title of Miss Firecracker, she is joined by an eccentric but loyal group of supporters.
Along with Goodwin, the cast for the NYC reading will also include Christopher Burns, Louis Cancelmi, Lauren Cohn, Mary Catherine Garrison and Ronica Reddick.
