Starring Stephen Morse & Kate Williams-Bernardo


Directed by MICHAEL J. ROGAN


The Gin Game uses gin rummy as a metaphor for life's struggles. Weller 
Martin (Morse), a nursing home resident, is playing solitaire on a 
shabby nursing home porch when he's joined by the prim Fonsia Dorsey 
(Williams-Bernardo). United by their dislike of the home and love for 
cards, they begin playing gin. As Fonsia wins every game and personal 
details are revealed, their shared confidences become weapons in an 
escalating conflict. Weller, desperate to overcome a lifetime of 
defeats, seeks a victory that remains elusive. Will he leave a broken 
man? Will her rigidity lead to bitter and lonely twilight years? Through 
their interactions, the work explores themes of aging, competition, and 
the search for connection.


Winner of the 1978 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, THE GIN GAME debuted with 
Jessica Tandy (winning her a Tony) and husband Hume Cronyn. It was 
revived on stage with Julie Harris and Charles Durning as well as James 
Earl Jones and Cicely Tyson, and for television with Mary Tyler Moore 
and Dick Van Dyke.


Actors Stephen Morse and Kate Williams-Bernardo performed it together at 
the Willoughby Summer Theater under the direction of Michael J. Rogan 
this summer, and are pleased to reprise their performance for this 
special event.


CVLT’s River Street Playhouse, housed in a former industrial space 
across the parking lot from the main CVLT building, was founded in 1978 
through the vision of Don Edelman and the building's owner, Steve 
Shields. Throughout the early 2000s it focused on smaller, newer, or 
more unusual material, as well as serving as CVLT's primary storage 
space for costumes, props, and scenery. CVLT took ownership of the 
building when Mr. Shields passed away in 2011 and has been working to 
revive it.


THE GIN GAME marks the first time audiences will be invited into our 
65-seat proscenium space post-COVID, following improvements including 
updated lighting and sound. The proceeds from this volunteer performance 
will help to continue much needed repair and maintenance work.
