  The Cast ofA . . .My Name Is Alice Credit: Deana Muro for A...My Name is Still Alice. Front Porch Theatricals (FPT) is thrilled to announce the first show of their 2024 season.. From May 17 - 26 the company will present A…My Name is Still Alice , a musical-sketch revue conceived by Joan Micklin Silver and Julianne Boyd. The production will be directed by Nancy McNulty McGeever, music directed by Douglas Levine and choreographed by Ashley Harmon.   “ A…My Name Is Still Alice is the continued story of the trailblazing women of the 1990's, a time when their careers, clothes, bodies, and families were targeted daily by a deeply sexist society,” said Nancy McNulty McGeever, Director. “Our production takes a light-hearted, humorous look back at those times and at the future they thought could be near. From targeted self-deprecating sketches to poignant ballads of tribulation seven women bring the life and times of the 90's everywoman to the knowing audiences of 2024."
