Stage Play Sister Cities Heads to TV with Lifetime

LOS ANGELES: Sister Cities, based on the stage play of the same name written by Colette Freedman, will make its world TV premiere on Lifetime.

The television adaptation features Jacki Weaver (Silver Linings Playbook), Stana Katic (Castle), Jess Weixler (The Good Wife), Michelle Trachtenberg (Gossip Girl) and Troian Bellisario (Pretty Little Liars). Debuting September 17 at 8 p.m., Sister Cities tells the story of four estranged sisters who reunite to mourn after their mother’s passing, only to discover a secret that could tear them apart.

Freedman wrote the script based upon her play. Lifetime acquired the worldwide broadcast rights for Sister Cities on the heels of a successful sold-out premiere for the play at Michael Moore’s Traverse City Film Festival.
