Director Dave Stacko propels us back to the early 80s with his choice of The Second Time Around. Not only is it the second time around for this script, it is also the second time around for senior citizens Samuel Jonas and Laura Curtis, a widower and a widow who strike up a love affair. The potential loss of social security benefits make living in sin more attractive than tying the knot; that is until their grown children become involved. The erstwhile couples’ offspring are not free of neuroses themselves, shown clearly as they raise their objections to what they perceive to be their parents’ precarious situation. Laughs will abound as this comedy unfolds.
Director Dave Stacko provides character descriptions for readings from the script:
Samuel Jonas--a widower who is alert, spritely, attractive......in general a nice human being. late 50's to late 60's
Laura Curtis--a pleasant, neat, devoted widow, modestly dressed; pleasant to the eye. late 50's to mid 60's
Mike Curtis--son of Laura, hard-driving young business, with a nervous stomach. mid 30's to early 40's
Cynthia Morse--daughter of Samuel, a suburban matron, neurotic, well-dressed, good looking. early to mid 30's
Eleanor Curtis--Mike's wife, the face and smile of an angel; the soul and strength of a tyrant. late 20's to early 30's
Dr. Arthur Morse--psychiatrist, husband of Cynthia, son-in-law of Samuel; also a bit neurotic. late 30's to early 40's
Bruce Morse--grandson of Samuel, son of Cynthia and Arthur, senior at Columbia; a nice young man with an active libido. early 20's
Angela--a Barnard junior, with an angelic look and in a relationship with Bruce. early 20's.
