She was a decorated WWII pilot, a fashion maven, a high society wife and ultimately a savvy business woman. Now, the late Grace Rosanky Putnam Jones, who rocked the couture world with her runway looks and A-list clients, is the subject of a new play premiering a block from her former small-town, destination shop.
“Oh Grace!” a fictional drama by Californians Laurel Aarsvold and Diana Richardson, is based on the colorful owner of “Grace Jones of Salado,” an internationally successful ladies wear salon famous for its exclusive clientele of politicians, international designers, celebrities and First Ladies.
The adventures of the bigger-than-life fashionista are explored in a promising new production that will have its world premiere at the Salado Silver Spur Theater (108 Royal St.) at 7:30 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays, March 9-10 and 16-17. The playwrights will be in attendance.

Saladoans Will Lowery is Charlie, and Grainger Esch, co-founder of the Silver Spur and its Executive Director, portrays John Rosanky, Grace’s nephew.
