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)./
