[Capdist-announce] Fwd: FINAL WEEK for DADDY'S DYIN' at Schenectady Civic

[John Hickman]

/" . . .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."

DADDY’S DYIN’, Who’s Got the Will?
Directed by Gary Hoffmann

/(FRIDAYS & SATURDAYS at 8 pm; WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY at 7:30 pm; SUNDAY 
matinees at 2:30 pm)/

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.

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

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.

The Civic Player’s eight-character cast features Cara Juras (as Sara Lee 
Turnover), Amy LaMena (as Lurlene Turnover Rogers), Joan Justice (Mama 
Wheelis), Nicolle Galligan (Evalita Turnover), Michael Silvia (Harmony 
Rhodes), Richard Cross (Buford Turnover), Shane Rowe (Orville Turnover), 
and Katherine Stephens (as Marlene Turnover).
