Sister, sister

Sisters Gia and Gabby Batista play sisters Ruth and Eileen Sherwood, who come to New York with dreams of fame and fortune in Davis Shakespeare Festival’s Wonderful Town, directed by Dennis Beasley. Ruth is an aspiring writer, while vivacious Eileen is an actress. Despite disappointments, the girls persevere and befriend with stereotypical New York types. The score by Leonard Bernstein, with lyrics by Comden and Green, make for a number of catchy tunes. A strong cast makes this a delectably memorable production. The show runs through August 6. 8 p.m. Thursday, July 13, through Saturday, July 15, 2 p.m. Sunday, July 16; $15-$25.
