[Theater Voices]

Theater Voices will present the second staged reading production of its *
Twenty-Fifth **Season **Anniversary*, *AH WILDERNESS!* by Eugene O'Neill,
directed by Carol Charniga. Performances will be given at Steamer No. 10
Theatre, 500 Western Avenue in Albany, on Friday February 15 at 8:00PM;

The play takes place on the Fourth of July in an early 1900's New England
town and chronicles the coming of age of 17 year old Richard Miller who is
smitten with his neighbor, Muriel McComber. When Richard sends poems of
love to her, quoting the likes of Omar Khayyám and Swinburne, her
disapproving father prevents her from ever seeing him again and forces her
to write a letter denouncing him. Heartbroken, Richard drowns his sorrow in
a local bar, drinking and smoking with a vamp called Belle, and comes home
drunk. Is it Uncle Sid, who is used to the effects of liquor, who nurses
Richard back to sobriety, and with the aid of Richard's warmhearted father
Nat and the forgiving Muriel everything is put to right.


This comedy in four acts by Eugene O’Neill, a sentimental tale of youthful
indiscretion in an early 1900’s New England town, was published and first
performed in 1933 and is perhaps considered the most atypical of the
author's works.

 The director of this production is Carol Charniga who has previously
directed for Theater Voices, and has performed at Cap Rep and in numerous
Cohoes Music Hall productions. The cast includes Theater Voices veterans
Eileen Schuyler and Brian Massman as well as newcomers to Theater Voices,
Evan Jones, Janet Hurley Kimlicko, Ron Komora, Daniel Light, Robin
MacDuffie and Kristyn Youngblood.
