Paul Osborn’s charming love letter to just plain folks . . .

MORNING'S AT SEVEN

Directed by Joseph Fava


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. 

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.” 

Playing the four sisters of the cast are Carol Charniga (as Cora Swanson), Paula Ginder (Aaronetta Gibbs), Rita Russell (Ida Bolton), and Joanne Westervelt (Esther Crampton ). The nine member cast also features Phil Sheehan (as Theodore Swanson), Richard Cross (Carl Bolton), Robert L. Hegeman (Homer Bolton) , Amy M. Lane (Myrtle Brown), and Bill Hickman (David Crampton).
