DTG is pleased to announce the cast of LIGHT SENSITIVE by Jim Geoghan

• Frank Maranje as Tom Hanratty
• Jim Hagan as Lou D’Marco
• Kerry Simpson as Edna Miles

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!

Thomas Hanratty, lifelong resident of Hell’s Kitchen and once the most dangerous white cab driver in New York, was blinded eight years ago in a drunken accident and is fading into a routine of self pity and alcohol. His bartender and only friend is moving to Vermont with his girlfriend, but finds it difficult to abandon Tom. He recruits a slightly handicapped volunteer reader who battles her way through Tom’s shell. By the second act, they are falling in love. His buddy returns with tales of his “Christmas from hell” in Vermont, and doubt arises as to who will hold the number one position in Tom’s life.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!

Under the direction of Robert-Wayne Waldron this production promises to deliver the depth, heart, and urgency of Hansberry’s powerful narrative. Performances will take place August 22- September 7, 2025 at The Dayton Theatre Guild inviting audiences to witness the triumphs and struggles of the Younger family as they navigate a world filled with challenges and aspirations.

Set in Chicago’s South Side in the 1950’s, this is about the divergent dreams and conflicts in three generations of the Younger family: son Walter Lee, his wife Ruth, his sister Beneatha, his son Travis, and matriarch Lena. When her deceased husband’s insurance money comes through, Mama Lena dreams of moving to a new home and a better neighborhood in Chicago. Walter Lee, a chauffeur, has other plans: buying a liquor store and being his own man. Beneatha dreams of medical school. Hansberry’s portrait of one family’s struggle to retain dignity in a harsh and changing world is a searing a nd timeless document of hope and inspiration. It was the first play by an African American woman to win a Pulitzer Prize.
