<br>
The first main-stage production of Schenectady Civic
Player’s 86th season, Morning's at Seven has been called
Paul Osborn’s love letter to just plain folks (specifically
four sisters in a small Midwestern town), a heart-warming,
funny, and emotionally satisfying play that will not only
make you feel great about yourself, it will let you finally
forgive every member of your family who has ever wronged
you.<br>
<br>
Cora, Aaronetta and Ida Gibbs have lived next door to each
other most of their lives, and along with Esther, all of the
Gibb sisters are an open book to each. Husbands not
included. Into the fray comes Myrtle Brown, perpetually
engaged to Ida’s son Homer. But Homer can’t seem to pop the
question. Taking matters into her own hands, Myrtle finally
gets a proposal by compelling Homer to fly the nest. Sort
of. This perennially charming portrait of small town America
fifty plus years ago was revived on Broadway in 1980 and in
2002 to critical acclaim. New York Daily News called it “An
absolute charmer… Four sisters, Chekhov would have smiled.
So will you, and laugh out loud, too.”<br>
