Warwick, RI – Ocean State Theatre’s latest production, “Gypsy”, based on the 1957 memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee, focuses on the performer’s mother, Rose, featuring OST’s Producing Artistic Director, Amiee Turner co-starring in the role.
The musical tells of the dreams and efforts of Rose to raise two daughters to perform onstage and become ”stars,”.
