The Drama Workshop’s Office of Special Projects is adding a fifth show to the TDW 2012-2013 season! “Jerry Finnegan’s Sister” will be directed by Ray Persing, and co-produced by Ray Persing and Gretchen Gantner.
Brian Dowd is 23 years old, and has had a mammoth crush on his best friend’s sister Beth for most of his life. In the play, Brian takes the audience members in as his confidants, telling them that he has just heard that Beth Finnegan is going to be married, and ushers them through a number of incidents in his life, such as they are, with the breathtaking dynamo who lives on the other side of his driveway. He also tells them that, before the evening is out, he will finally, finally tell her how he feels about her. The actors play the characters as children, adolescents, teens, and young adults, culminating in the moment when Brian finally tells Beth how he feels!
Show dates are January 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 27, 2013; Friday and Saturday curtains are at 8 pm; Sunday matinees are at 2 pm.
