Charming, touching, funny and  entertaining. 
Come experience the magic of first  love. 
It's the perfect Valentine's Day  date! 

Brian  Dowd (played by Brian McNally) has spent the last 17 years of his life 
wrestling  with an unrequited "something" for his best friend's sister, Beth 
(played by  Tricia Shumate), who happens to live next door. But each and every 
time he's  spoken with Beth Finnegan for more than 30 seconds, he's ended up 
with his foot  planted firmly in his mouth. Now, Brian's time is about to run 
out. With recent  news that Jerry Finnegan's sister is getting married, the 
time has come for him  to put up or shut up. What's he got to lose - except the 
love of his  life! 
That is the premise of Workshop Player's upcoming  production of Jerry 
Finnegan's Sister by Jack Neary, directed by Jerry  Coghlan and Wade Hubbard.  This 
two actor play covers the entire period  from when Brian and Beth first met, 
(he was seven she was six), to the present  when he is 23 and she is 22.  
Through a series of delightful scenes the  audience will come to understand why 
Brian has always had a problem talking to  Beth.  She either doesn't listen or 
else she hears too much.   If  there is a need to sum the play up in a single 
word, that word would be  charming, charming and touching.  OK, that's two 
words, charming and  touching and entertaining.  Three, three words to sum it up, 
charming,  touching, and entertaining, and funny.  OK, four words.   
The author of the play, Jack Neary, has been in contact  with veteran 
director Wade Hubbard and has sent a revised script with  many suggestions as to how 
he feels the play should be performed.  This  wonderful assistance has added 
several levels to the play.  Come and  be part of the Workshop theater 
experience.  You will be glad you did.   
Production  dates are February 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 17, 18 at 8  p.m.,  with 
Sunday matinees on February 12 and 19 at 3  p.m.  Tickets are $10 each and may be 
reserved by calling our box office at  440-988-5613. Discounts are available 
for groups of 15 or more. Workshop Players  Theatre-in-the-Round is located at
