Hudson Players Opens Play On! November 6, 2015
by Dana Herro via NEohioPAL 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

*Play On!,* directed by OCTA award winning director June Organ, is a hilarious comedy by Rick Abbot about 6 actors, a stage manager, technician, and director trying to put on a show while working with a playwright who just cannot make up her mind. The first act is the cast going through a rehearsal of Phyllis Montague’s “Murder Most Foul”. Everything seems to be going just fine in the beginning. The slip up of lines and the bickering amongst the players are nothing out of the ordinary, mostly between Saul/Dr. Forbes played by Kirk Worcester and Polly/Lady Margaret played by Sally Morris, but then an unexpected guest decides to show up at the rehearsal. Phyllis Montague, played by Sue Jeromson, has made the choice to once again change the script around, which leaves the rest of cast and crew aghast. As they struggle to get through the script for the rest of the show the antics have only just begin. The second act begins with the cast starting their dress rehearsal by coming out on stage to be over looked by the director, Gerry, played by Michael Pitt. Throughout the beginning, the players seem to be a little more relaxed, but still a little frustrated knowing that Phyllis is lurking around the stage. That frustration definitely proves true especially for Louise, who is played by Tara Haggerty and Aggie, played by Michelle Dolciato. As the rest of the act resumes, the cast is able to overcome the pressure and deliver the show as it should be….for the most part. The third act sets the audience up for opening night and everyone is feeling pretty nervous. It’s expected to be flawless, but unfortunately for the players, that’s not what happens. The final act is full of slip-ups, falls, and all kinds of commotion. As they struggle through this hilarious last act it only leads to more laughs and enjoyment for the audience, including an unexpected surprise! *Play On!** runs November 6, 7, 13, 14, 15 (matinee), 20 and 21, 2015* at the Barlow Community Center, located at 41 S. Oviatt St., Hudson, OH. Tickets can be purchased by visiting www.HudsonPlayers.com <http://www.hudsonplayers.com/> or by calling the box office at (330) 655-8522. Student, senior and group discounts are available. For additional information, please email info(a)HudsonPlayers.com
