Date:  January 8, 2016                                                 The
Ghent Playhouse   518 392-6264


6 Town Hall Place, Ghent, NY  12075
                *FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE*



The Ghent Playhouse stage is transformed into an Irish Pub called the Weir
somewhere on Ireland’s Northwest coast as the Playhouse continues its 41st
Season with Conor McPherson’s award winning *The Weir*.  The play will open
on Friday, January 22, 2016 and run through Sunday, February 7, 2016 with
performances Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sunday afternoons at 2
p.m.



In the intimate pub setting, as Brendon tends bar on a foggy evening,  locals
Jack, Jim and Finbar tell spellbinding stories of ghost lore, Irish Gentle
Folk and a haunted house built over a fairy road to Valerie, the newcomer
in the village.   As the libations flow and the evening progresses, the
stories that hit the most haunting chord are those that tell of the ghosts
that inhabit the shadows of our own minds and taunt of what might have been
if only…



The cast consists of Donald Dolan as Jack, Jerry Greene as Brendan, Neal
Berntson as Jim, John Wallace as Finbar and Monica Brady as Valerie. This
production is directed by Aaron Holbritter who is “thrilled to be making my
Ghent Playhouse premiere with it (T*he Weir*).”  Gabrielle Smachetti is the
Assistant Director and Stage Manager.  Cathy Lee-Visscher  is the Producer
and set design is by Robert Walker.
Tickets are $20 each, $17 for Friends of the Playhouse and $10 for Students
with ID.  Tickets may be reserved by calling 1-800-838-3006 or going to the
website at www.ghentplayhouse.org.
