Glen Arbor Players announce 2021 season
From staff reports
The Glen Arbor Players are eager to return to the stage in 2021 in front of a live audience. The troupe has developed a COVID-19 protocol that will allow them to return to the stage at a wonderful home at the Glen Lake Church community center. The Players have four talented, seasoned directors, several new thespians, a new drape background system and four diverse, entertaining plays.
The first play, scheduled for July 8-10, is My Weekend in the Catskills, a new comic play directed by Teddy House involving four Jewish seniors seeking the awakening of the human soul at a sexy seniors weekend at a Catskills resort.
The second performance is George Bernard Shaw’s classic story, Pygmalion, which was the basis for My Fair Lady. Ron Smith directs the play, scheduled for Labor Day weekend.
In the last week of October, the third play is The Hound of the Baskervilles, the most popular of all the Sherlock Holmes mysteries. Harriett Mittelberger, one of the Glen Arbor Players’ founders, is the director of this thriller.
The mid-December finale is another classic, Enchanted April, written by Elizabeth Von Armin and first done as a film in 1935. The director of this American comedy drama is the Players’ newest addition, Jan Dalton, who has joined the troupe to add to his long and distinguished career with the Old Town Playhouse.
Performances of My Weekend in the Catskills will be held at the Glen Lake Church, located at 4902 W. Macfarlane Road, on July 8-10 at 7:30 p.m.
