Spotlight Issue: November 1997

County Players Proudly Presents
The Shadow Box

County Players, Inc. presents the award winning play The Shadow Box, November 7,8,14,15,21, and 22, at 8:00 PM. Tickets are $12.00 for adults and $10.00 for senior citizens and children under 12.

A 1977 Tony and Pulitzer Prize Winner The Shadow Box takes place in 1977 in 3 separate cottages on hospital grounds. The hospice program was in its early stages at this time and experimental. The plot focuses on 3 individuals who are at various stages of disease. Their story is coming to terms with family members who are faced with losing someone they love. The play takes you on a journey. There is pain, sorrow, anger, but also much humor as each person tries to find their way towards acceptance. The pervading emotion is hope. The noteworthy cast includes Todd Caster, Bernice Edman, Doug Woolley, Julie Eads Woolley, Don Creighton, Connie Lopez, Joe Jervais, Zsuzsa Manna, and Sean Donnavan.

The show is being directed by Bill Peckham who is a veteran director with County Players. Remember Steel Magnolias, A Few Good Men and Inherit the Wind? Bill also directed Rashamon with Rhinebeck Theater Society. Peckham says that he had found directing The Shadow Box extraordinarily fulfilling and says, ‘I saw the play 15 years ago and was impressed by the powerful images it creates for actors as well as the audience. As a director it is the ultimate challenge. If I can get the audience to laugh and cry in the same two hours, I’ve struck a cord.”

To obtain for this award winning play, call County Players Box Office at 298-1491. Visa and Mastercard now accepted.

From the President

Congratulations to the cast, crew and production staff of our 40th anniversary season opener, The Sunshine Boys, for an excellent job! Thanks to everyone involved for all of your hard work and dedication.

(continued on pg. 2 col 1)

On September 28th, we had the pleasure of attending the March of Dimes “Best of the Hudson Valley”. County Players was voted BEST THEATRICAL GROUP by The Hudson Valley Magazine’s Reader’s Poll. Sincere thanks to Kathy Morris, Kim Catucci, and Joe Stifano for assisting me at our booth that evening. In addition, a big thank you to Director Tom Lawrence, Pianist Joel Flowers and the cast from A Broadway Melody for providing live entertainment. Congratulations to Eileen Black of Poughkeepsie, Maureen DiCorcia of Hyde Park, and Candy Magliano of New Windsor, who were our 3 ticket winners from our booth drawing.

As the 40th Season moves ahead, The Board continues to initiate projects which will enhance our building. Sometimes, they are not always obvious to our audience members. This time we are tackling the removal of an underground storage tank that is located in our paint area right off of the lobby. Since the removal will be a massive undertaking, it was necessary for us to contract with tank removal experts in order to have it properly disassembled and removed. Plans for this newly found space consist of installing shelving to store set paint, cleaning items, and many other miscellaneous item.

Now that our 40th Anniversary membership drive is officially over, final figures show that County Players’ now has over 1,00 members! Our new computerized box office system has proven to be quick and efficient, and its use has definitely reduced the pre-show congestion at the Box Office.

Anna Marie Creighton, President
