Ursula, a provocative play
that follows nine devout nov
ices and their Mother Superior,
virgins all, as they embark upon
a journey to confront and re
ject the Prince’s offer of mar
riage, opens Friday at the Inter
state Firehouse Cultural Center,
5340 N. Interstate Ave.
The play by Howard Barker is
based on the 10th century leg
end of St. Ursula, a young girl
inspired by an encounter with
Christ to lead 10,000 virgins to
break off an impending marriage.
Barker’s re-telling of the tale
reveals one of this renowned
playwright’s most compelling
questions, “Can we legislate
desire?”
Full of poetic language, for
bidden liaisons, and vivid dark
humor, Ursula invites us into a
unique world whose images
and resonances remain with the
audience long after the curtain
falls.
Show times are at 8 p.m.,
Thursdays through Saturdays
and Sunday matinees at 2 pm.
through Oct. 3. General admis
sion, $10.
The provocative play Ursula opens Friday at the Interstate
Firehouse Cultural Center.

Call Her by her Own Name
L e T o y a h it s
s t r id e a s s o l o
R & B sta r
(AP) After proving she could
do it solo — her debut single
and self-titled album both hit
No. I on the charts three years
ago — LeToya is ready for
people to call her by her own
name, without adding that an
noying prefix.
“I am now formerly the former
member of Destiny's Child," the
28-year-old says with a laugh.
“We are now LeToya Luckett,
that's what we've been and that's
what we will continue to say.”
Former Destiny's Child
member, LeToya Luckett
embarks on round two as a
solo R&B star.
The Houston native will get
a chance to show other sides
of LeToya with her upcoming
acting gigs: She stars in the
movie "I’reacher's Kid,” due out
this October, and has a role in
2 0 l0 's “Five K ille rs” w ith
Ashton Kutcher and Katherine
Heigl.
But before she heads to the
big screen, LeToya released her
sophomore disc, "Lady Love,"
last week.
The CD — which features
production and guest vocals
from Ne-Yo, Estelle, Ryan Leslie
and Ludacris — has a range of
breakup songs like “Lazy," a
tune about being too tired to
try love after a failed relation
ship, and the uptem po “She
Ain't Got,” where LeToya’s so
fed up she is ready to beat “the
other woman” with a bat.
T h e A sso c ia te d P re s s :
Would you really hit someone
with a bat?
LeToya: No. I wouldn't. I've
never had a fight in my life
(laughs). I am so opposite of
violent; lover no, a fighter, for
real. But I did that record be
cause I know a Io, of people
would be able to relate to that.
AP: There seems to be a lot
of breakup songs on the CD.
How'd those records come to
gether?
LeToya: I've been single for
a while now, and of course girls,
we have our girl talks and we
talk about each other's crazy
experiences in these relation
ships and so it makes it easy
for me to write about my experi
ences, their experiences.
AP: Do you feel like you've
officially ventured away from
your Destiny's Child past?
LeToya: I feel that way now,
yes. I think that people are now
starting to see who I am as an
artist and get to know LeToya
Luckett and not so much put all
the focus on "former member
of." You know what I mean?
AP: Do you keep in touch
with the other ladies from the
group?
LeToya: When we see each
other it’s very cordial.
AP: How have you grown
since being in the group?
LeToya: I'm not afraid to take
chances. I don't play it safe as
much as I used to. I think when
you're so used to being on a
team, any team, whether you be
an athlete or in a singing group,
you have to be a team player,
and I'm still a team player, but
when you step out on your own,
it's all about you. The focus is
just on you, those eyes are just
on you. So I think I'm accepting
that now and it's helping me to
grow as a person.
AP: Y ou're sta rrin g in
"Preacher's Kid" — how was
that experience?
LeToya: I learned a lot about
myself in filming that movie.
A P : You're doing m usic,
films, fashion (she has two bou
tiques in Houston) — what else
do you want to do?
LeToya: One day have a fam
ily, kids. That would be nice
(laughs). Got to find that spe
cial someone first and marry him
and then we'll talk about some
kids. Hopefully that's next.
