[NEohioPAL] "Dividing The Estate", a Comedy at Broadview Heights Spotlights Theater

[Annette Phelps]

 BROADVIEW HEIGHTS SPOTLIGHTS PRESENTS THE COMEDY
“DIVIDING THE ESTATE” 
Horton Foote’s play Dividing the Estate will be performed at Broadview Heights Spotlights this spring, running April 27 to May 12. Dividing the Estate is the story of the Gordon clan, a Texas family who has been hard hit by the precipitous drop in oil prices in 1987. Family matriarch Stella rules over the family, but she is 85 years old, and her family smells their inheritance coming. Her younger daughter, Mary Jo, comes to visit for the day along with her husband, and their two daughters, prompting a family get-together. Mary Jo is deeply in debt and wants to divide the estate before her mother dies. Various members of the family, including the servants, take sides in the debate and wonder how much, if anything, there actually is to inherit. The family bickers as only a Southern family can, mentioning every slight and insult that has occurred over the past 80 years.

The Spotlights’ production is directed by Brenton Cochran, and features a cast including Clorise Busch, Tara Corkery, Brett Heidinger, Dave Hopkins, Hayley Johnson, Stephanie Malfara (also serving as the production’s Stage Manager), Cheryl McConnell, Sean McCormick, Katie Morilak, Jaclyn Phelps, Sarah Price, Austin Sasser, and Kerstin Vaughn. Other production staff members include Adam Bowers and Jean Brennan (Co-Producers), Katie Atkinson and Jill Kenderes (Costumers) and Tim Anderson (Technical Director & Set Designer).
 
Performance dates are April 27 through May 12.  Performances will occur on Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:30 p.m., and there will be a Sunday matinee on Sunday, May 6 at 3:00 p.m.   All performances are held at the Broadview Heights Cultural Arts Building, 9543 Broadview Road in Broadview Heights (next to the police station).
