Lovers and Other Strangers

The Community Players are beginning the year with their production of Lovers and Other Strangers, a series of five comic one acts, each dealing with the ups and downs of relationships and marriage. Each story features partners of varied ages, from a planned seduction gone wrong, a groom experiencing cold feet before the wedding, to a long-married couple who have fought for over 30 years, trying to save their son’s marriage by admitting their own failings.

The play was written by actors Joseph Bologna and Renee Taylor. It became a hit on Broadway in 1968 and was later adapted for a 1970 motion picture. The film was nominated for three Academy awards.

The show is co-directed by Tony Annicone,  Dan Fisher and Christopher Margadonna, and features Ed Carusi, Richard Griffin, Ron Martin, Ashley Moore, Sandi Nicastro, Susan Perreault, David Schillinger, Kevin Thibault, Rebecca Tung, Emily Van Pelt, Leslie Racine Vazquez and Geoff White.

Performances are January 12-14 & 19-21, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm, and Sundays at 2pm at Jenks Auditorium, Division St, Pawtucket. Order e-tickets online at thecommunityplayers.net or reserve at 401-726-6860.
