Penny plays ... Rosemary, in "Picnic" 1

Just after great notices for Mrs. Grogan in "The Cider House Rules", Penny scored an even greater critical success with Rosemary, in "Picnic".

This story of love among the young and middle aged is perhaps William Inge's most famous work.

Rosemary is independent gal, a schoolteacher in an era when few jobs enabled a woman to live on her own. She encourages a decent fellow, one who, she fears, may be her last chance at avoiding spinsterhood.

This Griffin Theatre Company production was one of the last in Chicago's historic Calo Theatre, Andersonville. It recieved two 2003 Jeff Citation nominations, including Penny's for best supporting actress.
