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.
