Little Theater offers comedy with some life lessons
 The Little Theatre of Fall
River will present Ivan Menchell's Broadway comedy, "The Cemetery Club,"
as the group continues its 65th season. The show will be presented at 8
tonight through Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sunday.
All performances will be in the
Margaret L. Jackson Arts Center at Bristol Community College, 777 Elsbree
St., Fall River.
The show questions when
grieving stops and living begins again. For three widows -- Doris, Ida and
Lucille -- the answers are never, soon, and she never started.
Every month, three widows go
together to visit the graves of their dear, departed husbands. Ida soon
begins to feel that life still holds surprises in store for her: they
arrive in the person of Sam, a lonely butcher. Doris insists that Ida
hasn't mourned enough, and Lucille suggests she play the field. As they
struggle to understand one another, the battles they wage are
compassionate and funny.
The Little Theatre production
is directed by Ralph Martin, whose Little Theatre directorial credits
include "Annie," "Crimes of the Heart" and "Murder at the Howard
Johnson's." The production is stage managed by Jean Mendes, with Kathy
Castro assisting the stage manager.
