A Filet and a Play
Written By: Adair Simon - Highlands Cashiers Players | Issue: 2018/03 - March
Highlands Cashiers Players is showcasing four new directors, four new plays, and three actors new to the HCP stage at their March Dinner Theater from March 15-17 and March 22-24.
In “The Rental” by Mark Harvey Levine, Sonya receives an extraordinary birthday present. A rented boyfriend. He’s the perfect man for her but he’s only there for a day.
“Smitten,” also by Levine, is about an interesting relationship that is in trouble. Trouble leads to thought-provoking laughter. Mark Harvey Levine is one of the most produced writers of short plays in the world.
Dan Borengasser wrote scripts for video and film before writing “Crisis Line.” This comedy is a spoof on help lines. As Borengasser says, “Stage plays are dialogue driven. Pacing is critical.” “Crisis Line” is both funny and poignant.
“Money, Honey,” by Betty Prisendorf, a playwright, poet and great fan of the Highlands’ theater, is all about perspective. A solid husband and wife combo are looking at life from two different perspectives, which brings a lot of comedy to the table. Betty is a hometown Highlands girl, a member of Highlands Writers Group, as well as American Pen Women. Her varied body of work includes published poems, staged plays, and short stories.
These light-hearted one-acts will play at the Martin-Lipscomb Performing Arts Center Thursday through Saturday, March 15-17 and March 22-24. They’ll be performed between courses of dinner served downstairs at PAC. Wine is available at a cash bar. The Dinner Theater will start seating at 6:30 P.M. and reservations are required. Tickets may be purchased by calling the box office at (828) 526-8084 or online at HighlandsCashiersPlayers.org starting March 8. Online ticketing is a new service provided by HCP. If ticket holders would like to be at a certain table with friends, please specify that when calling for reservations.
