Stow Players Opens 2015-16 Season

 

            

            Marriage equality takes a stand as Stow Players opens its 62nd
year of quality community theater with the musical, My Mother's Lesbian
Jewish Wiccan Wedding by the husband and wife team of  David Hein and Irene
Carl Sankoff,  at the Heritage Barn in Stow's Silver Springs Park (access
from Young Rd. entrance only). This delightful musical, based on a true
story, will open on Friday, November 6, 2015, and run through Saturday,
November 21.

 

            The musical is a dual coming-of-age story and is
autobiographical as Hein wrote about his own mother's journey of
self-discovery. Claire (JB Miller of Chagrin Falls) has divorced her husband
Garth (Brian Pichola of Streetsboro), and takes a teaching job at The
University of Ottawa in Ottawa, Canada  While she is forced to leave behind
her own son David (Jared McGrath of Akron/ Nathan Mudrak of Kent as Young
David), she is optimistic to start her life over in a new place.  She rents
an apartment from Michelle (Carol Tymchenko of Stow) who hosts the local
lesbian choir which includes Jane (Chanda Porter of Barberton), who is not
only a lesbian, but also a Wiccan.  Claire and Jane seem to hit it off, and
the story then explodes as it tackles many issues intent on keeping the
audience of their toes. Also in the cast are Jessica West of Kent as Irene
and Dave Hinebaugh of West Akron as the rabbi, Sam, and other characters.
MMLJWW also features the talents of Dave Stebbins of Stow as director and
musical director, and Susan Omspacker of Stow as assistant director and
production stage manager.

 

             MMLJWW opens on Friday, November 6, 2015, and runs for three
weekends, through November 21.  Friday and Saturday performances are at 8:00
pm, and there is one Sunday matinee, November 15, at 2:30 pm.  Ticket prices
are $15 for General Admission and $12 for Seniors and students. On Opening
Weekend, the Saturday night performance (Nov. 7) will have a special BOGO
$10. Anyone who purchases a General Admission ticket (NOT
senior/student/comp) for that night is entitled to purchase a second ticket
for $10.

Silver Springs Park, with access from the back entrance on Young Rd. only.
