HCP’s Crossing Delancey
Written By: Courtney Scarborough | Issue: 2017/08 - August
This August, the Highlands Cashiers Players debuts “Crossing Delancey” by Susan Sandler during their Eclipse Theatre Weekend.
HCP is taking part in this solar event by having special showings August 18, 19, and 20 at 7:30 P.M. Instead of two weekends, viewers now have three weekends to enjoy this New York romance, marking the return of director Dr. Ronnie Spilton, a HCP veteran.
The main character Isabel, played by Lynleigh McLain, lives out her days dreaming of the elusive author Tyler, played by Chris Hess; while living the dream in her rent-controlled New York apartment and building a glowing reputation at her job at a prestigious independent bookstore. Isabel’s Bubbie, played by Faye Siegel, who has a different idea when she hires Hannah a local matchmaker, and played by newcomer Barbara Jamison. They feel the local pickle man Sam, played by Lance Trudel, is a better match despite Izzy’s protests.
“Crossing Delancey” depicts the bonds of family and tradition; while showing the clash of cultures between the older East Side and the newer West Side.
Dr. Ronnie Spilton makes her directorial return to HCP with “Crossing Delancey.” She has directed, as well as performed, in many plays for HCP.
This New York romance will open for their regular showings Thursday through Sunday, August 24 through 27 and August 31 through September 3. Evening performances are at 7:30 P.M. and Sunday matinee showings are at 2:30 P.M.
Tickets can be purchased by calling the box office at (828) 526-8084 or online at HighlandsCashiersPlayers.org. Purchasing tickets online allows the ticket holder to select their seats as well as printing their tickets.
