MOON OVER THE BREWERY
Presented by Lebanon Theatre Company
Sept. 12-21
Lebanon
Directed by Matthew Smith
Cast: Rachel Wilson as Miriam Lipsky, Alyssa Mehnert as Amanda Lipsky, Jay Fultz as Warren Zimmerman & David Stone as Randolph
A touching, gently humorous study of a precocious teenager’s “coming of age,” in which fantasy and reality are deftly juxtaposed to heighten the affecting message of the play. Miriam Lipsky, unmarried and living with her thirteen-year-old daughter, Amanda, works as a waitress to pay the bills, but it is her painting that really matters to her. Good subjects are scarce in the drab Pennsylvania coal town where they live, so Miriam dons a miner’s lamp and paints at night, when moonlight softens and transforms the stark landscape. Miriam is also desirous of male companionship, a need which the precocious Amanda (she has an IQ of 160) has discouraged by driving away suitor after suitor with her barbed comments. Amanda, compensating for the lack of a father, has also created an imaginary friend, Randolph, who appears (only to her) in a resplendent white suit and provides mischievous advice and guidance.
