Pearl
June 29-July 1, July 6-9, 2023
University Theatre presents “Pearl”
PREMIERE by Cindy Jordan
Based on the historical novel, “PEARL.”
The year is 1923. The Santa Rita #1 well has hit the pay, and Miss Pearl’s Parlor is open for business! Pearl is about oil, sexy cowboys, and friendly ladies who work in an upscale brothel in West Texas. Thirteen women work at Pearl’s Parlor. These are their stories. The historical facts are true, and the girls’ stories are real. Be prepared to laugh out loud and tear up with a sentiment.
The Santa Rita #1 well, named for the patron saint of the impossible, began producing on May 28, 1923, after nearly two years of drilling. Since then, the Permian has become the largest energy-producing region in the U.S., and the PUF has grown to be the largest public university endowment in the U.S.
