Pregnant by her now dead husband’s best friend and alone in a seedy motel, Loretta (Lesley Faulkner) is trying to figure out her ‘options’.  She has a “special quality” that drives men mad and has to continually fend off the advances by Dave (Brandon McGibbon) and Michael (Kevin Hanchard). 

Already dealing with a zany cast of characters, Loretta has to avoid constant phone calls from a nagging, interfering sister in between refereeing Dave and Michael and consoling the confused and exhausted Sophie (Monica Dottor). Amidst the chaos, Loretta needs to figure out her life and how to make a load of fast cash.

Director Ken Gass hits the mark with another soon to be George F. Walker classic. Featuring Loretta feels like a gritty soap opera while packing a 1930’s romantic nuance with trailer trash edginess. 

Monica Dottor, who has the wisdom of a seasoned stage actor, is always a delight to watch. Her quirky Sophie is the radiant highlight of the play.  Even the smallest facial gesture can get a huge laugh from the audience proving once again the breadth of this performer’s gift.

Spastically funny with an energetic cast of animated characters, Featuring Loretta is over the top fun and one more reason to find your way over to the Bathurst Street actor's haven.
