The Current Mrs. Harrison, according to production notes, is set "in the spring of 1968. Martin Luther King has just been shot, there is major unrest in the streets of many American cities, and a war rages in Southeast Asia. Against this backdrop three southern sisters get together for a visit in their old childhood home. Their solitude and family time is turned on its side when their newest sister-in-law, a Yankee from Vermont, makes a surprise appearance and causes revelations that threaten to tear the family apart."
Constance Towers has appeared on Broadway in Anya, The Engagement Baby, Ari and The King and I. Her other theatrical credits include roles in The Sound of Music, 42nd Street, Oklahoma!, Camelot, Mame and Kiss Me, Kate. The recipient of the Outer Critics Circle Award for Excellence in the Theatre and the American Academy of the Dramatic Arts Achievement Award, Towers' TV credits include "L.A. Law," "Designing Women," "General Hospital" and "The Tonight Show."
