Wabeno Area Players – And Miss Reardon Drinks a Little November 16th-19th 7pm Madonna Hall, 1793 Elm Ave., Wabeno. Thurs., Fri., & Sat. performances are at 7pm, Sunday at 1pm. Their father having deserted them in their childhood, the three Reardon sisters have grown up in a house of women, dominated by their mother, who is only recently dead. But time has erased the tender closeness of girlhood; one sister has married & cut herself off; another has begun to drink more than she should; & the third, after a scandalous incident at the school where she teaches, is on the brink of madness. When the married sister comes to dinner to press the need for committing her sibling to an institution, the simmering resentments of many years burst alive & are exacerbated by the intrusion of a well-meaning but boorish neighbor couple, whose unexpected arrival impels the action towards its shattering conclusion in which all the pathos, humor & searing honesty of the play combine with overwhelming effect. Tickets are $15 per person. For more information, please call Josh at 715-889-1606 or email [email protected].
