Mary Kloster, left, in the role of Martha O’Conner, is consoled by Grace Schefter, who played Liz O’Conner in the Warehouse Theatre Company’s production of “The O’Conner Girls.”

The drama “The O’Conner Girls” was the big winner at this year’s Warehouse Theatre Company Winnie Awards — the WTC’s version of the Tony.

In his review of the production for the Yakima Herald-Republic, theater critic Dewey Mee wrote that, “the play by Katie Forgette of Seattle succeeds because it never wallows in cheap, contrived sentimentality. It is, instead, a deft mixture of honest sadness, pathos and dark humor. The Warehouse Theatre production showcases fine ensemble acting from veteran performers.”
