OCT. 6 & 7 at 7:30 (Fri./Sat.) OCT. 8 at 2:00 Guilford Center Stage plays
Performances are Friday and Saturday, October 6 & 7, at 7:30 pm, and Sunday the 8th at 2 pm, upstairs at Broad Brook Grange, 3940 Guilford Center Rd.
A cast of 18 community actors will perform the plays, which average about 20 minutes in length. William Stearns directs. The cast is: Nancy Detra, Ian Hefele, Jenny Holan, Julie Holland, Joel Kaemmerlen, Glenn Letourneau, Todd W. Mandell, Nan Mann, Evelyn McLean, Cris Parker-Jennings, Maryann Parrott, Arthur Pettee, Jen Rainville, Genevieve Redmond, Marvin Shedd, Susan Shedd, William Stearns, and Bob Tucker.
The show opens with "The Vine," a drama about a young man who has a deep-seated dependence on a large vine growing outside his family home.
Two of the plays are based on the author’s upbringing in a church family. In "To Their Appointed End," an aged minister faces the possibility he will have to retire. This is a charming and touching little play. In a sort of sequel, the comedy, "Where the Saints Have Trod" finds a young minister challenged by his new congregation’s fond memories of his much-beloved predecessor. It’s quite amusing.
The finale, "Happy Hollidays," is a fast-paced comedy about the Hollidays, a theatrical couple who host a radio show from their New York apartment. To their listeners, they are a happy couple. Off the air is a different matter.
General admission is $10. Cash or check will be accepted at the box office. For those wishing to use a credit or debit card, you may go to Brown Paper Tickets at bpt.me/2792780 or 1-800-838-3006.
