BETHEL’S SENIOR PLAYERS TO PRESENT FIVE COMEDY PLAYS

“The Senior Players Get Sweet and Salty” finds five short comedy plays living up to the theme as the Senior Players of Western Mountains Senior College present their performance on Friday, November 17, at 7 pm and Saturday, November 18, at a 2 pm Matinee at Gould Academy’s McLaughlin Auditorium.

Facilitator John Reilly said, “The Players, although “amateur thespians,” challenge themselves in the art of theater and are anxious to highlight their talents for their friends and neighbors.”  Members follow the “senior theater” tradition of carrying their scripts on stage.

Plan to attend and be prepared for lots of action and practical jokes in the five comedies that will have you rolling in the aisles by the end of the show.  Admission is free.  Donations are welcome to offset production costs.  FMI contact John Reilly at jreilly@mit.edu.


Senior Players performing in this year's production include, seated, John Reilly, Rosabelle Tifft and Gail Parent.  Standing: Tim LeConey, Bridget Remington, Mariann Goff, Tom Hoy, Lia Paliocha, Mary Hickey, Lainey Cross and Bill Corrigan.  (Absent: Bill Schuellein)
