Workshop Players Present

*To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday*

By Michael Brady
Directed by Jack Warren

David (Chas Derermer), a former college teacher, is hard-hit by the
accidental death of his wife; an event that took place some two years before
the start of the play. His subsequent withdrawal from society is causing
worry for his teen daughter Rachel (Courtney Reising), and anger from his
sister-in-law Esther (Melissa Hubbard), who threatens to use the legal
system to take Rachel from him. Esther and her husband, Paul (Jonathan
McCleery), come to visit David and Rachel on their beachfront home and bring
with them a woman named Kevin (Melissa Lyle) for David to meet. Will David
ignore Kevin in favor of his continuing dialogue with his late wife (Heather
Pelphrey)? Will he begin to look after the needs of his daughter or lose her
to Esther and Paul? Might he return to the working world? Could David
succumb to the infatuated Cindy (Karen Reynolds), a classmate of his
daughter? All questions are answered in "To Gillian..."

Although billed as a "comedy-drama," the play is simply a good basic
examination of human reactions to loss. “To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday”
captures the emotional tribulations of a family coping with the death of a
loved one.

Performance dates are April  24, 25; May 1, 2 at 8 p.m., with Sunday
matinees on April 26 and May 3 at 3 p.m.

 Tickets are $12.00 each or $10.00 each for groups of 15 or more and may be
reserved by calling the box office at 440-988-5613.

Workshop Players Theatre-in-the-Round is located at 44820 Middle Ridge Road
in Amherst, and our mezzanine area is now wheelchair accessible. Check out
