Soap Star Catherine Hickland Joins Pieces (of Ass) on February 23

Soap star Catherine Hickland will join the cast of Pieces of Ass as a guest performer on February 23 through March 27. She is the first announced celebrity guest "CenterPIECE" for the off-Broadway show. According to theater sources, the show may play its final performance on March 27, but producers say the show could continue to run past that date.

Hickland made her Broadway debut in Les Miserables and has appeared in a regional production of Love Letters, opposite Campbell Scott. She has been a regular on TV's One Life To Live since l998. Her other TV credits include Loving, The City, Texas, Law & Order, Knight Rider, Eight Is Enough, Airwolf and Vegas. She appeared in the TV movies The Seeding of Sara Burns and To Race The Wind and the feature films The Last Married Couple in America and Millions.

Pieces of Ass features a series of original monologues delivered by a cast of 12 beautiful women speaking about their own experiences--each dealing with themes uniquely common to the physically blessed woman. From perks to privileges, to problems and pressures, these "pieces" aim to go beneath the beautiful facade in order to examine the concept of "hot chick angst."

The show, created and directed by Brian Howie, plays off-Broadway at Dodger Stages.
