. . .The lively production at the Schenectady Civic
Players somehow makes you feel you weren't wrong to
leave the house you've holed up in during this
miserable winter . . . Director Gary M. Hoffmann has
this first-rate cast moving at a good clip and
speaking with convincing Southern accents . . . it's
like a sit-down with the characters on TV's "Mama's
Family" . . . And (Katherine) Stephens practically
steals the show in a hilarious scene with (Michael)
Silvia in Act II . . . a stunning set by Robert L.
Hegeman . . . something I've known for some time:
there's a good reason SCP is now celebrating its 87th
season." <br>

Set in a small Texas town in anytime, U.S.A., Daddy’s Dyin’
concerns the reunion of a family gathered to await the imminent
death of their patriarch, who has recently suffered a physically
as well as mentally disabling stroke. In essence, however, it is
not the story of the impending demise of the father or of the
drafting of his will, but of a rebirth of the spirit of the
family unit.<br>
<br>
The story shares many elements of a good summer novel: fast,
delicious, easy viewing with funny moments, tense moments,
touching moments, and characters you care about.-The Hollywood
Reporter<br>
<br>
The Los Angeles 1987 premiere of Daddy’s Dyin’, Who’s Got the
Will? played for two years to turn-away crowds and was
subsequently made into a film starring Beau Bridges and Beverly
D’Angelo.<br>
