Mariemont Players presents Who Am I This Time? (& Other Conundrums of Love), a romantic comedy by Aaron Posner, adapted from stories by Kurt Vonnegut, at the Walton Creek Theater, 4101 Walton Creek Road (just East of Mariemont), May 6th through May 22nd, 2016.
The subject of this play—as we are told at the outset—is love, pure and complicated. Set on the stage of The North Crawford Mask & Wig Club (“the finest community theater in central Connecticut!”), three early comic masterpieces by Kurt Vonnegut (Long Walk to Forever, Who am I This Time? and Go Back to Your Precious Wife and Son) are sewn together into a seamless evening of hilarity and humanity. With Vonnegut’s singular wit and insight into human foibles, this is a smart, delightful comedy for the whole family.
“…as a night in the theatre, it’s easy to love.” –The Oregonian. “It takes love as its subject and handles it with the utmost skill…The overwhelming message, though, is one of hope, delivered with humor and heart…delightful.” –Willamette Week. “This delightful, lyrical piece of love and simpler times…delivers just the right amount of fun…more than a few belly laughs of a more home-spun Vonnegut quality. Audiences will find themselves enchanted and often laughing out loud.” –PortlandStageReviews.com. “The play might be light, but it’s also serious, because its subject is the mysterious powers and vagaries of love. And it might be new, but its verities are traditional: tight script…approachable characters, recognizable tension, satisfying resolution.” –Oregon Arts Watch.
Who Am I This Time? is produced and directed by Dan Maloney and features the talents of Arny Stoller, Michael Gettinger, Hannah Waskowitz, Martha Slater, Amy Waldfogle, Patrick Kramer, Kenny Tessel, and Samantha McDaniel.
