*The Gin Game*
*The story:* Winner of the 1978 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, D.L. Coburn’s
classic play chronicles the relationship between two unhappy denizens of a
seedy nursing home—Weller Martin and Fonsia Dorsey—who play multiple games
of gin rummy together. Their secrets, gradually revealed, become weapons as
they navigate loneliness and old age.
Praise for past productions of The Gin Game
“Funny, sad, profane, eloquent, touching, beautiful." – *WABC-TV*
“The closest thing the theatre offers to a duel at 10 paces." – *The New
York Times*
*The cast & crew:* ”The Gin Game" is directed by *Carol Charniga*, who has
been a vital part of Theater Voices since 1995. Carol serves on the Theater
Voices board, and she has directed seven of our past productions including *A
Lesson Before Dying*, *Ah, Wilderness*, *Trying* and *Copenhagen*, and
performed in six shows, including playing Marjorie in *Marjorie Prime*.
She’s appeared as an actress across the Capital District and beyond, at
NYSTI, Capital Rep, Mac-Haydn, Theater Barn, Cohoes Music Hall and others.
She was most recently seen as Violet in *August: Osage County* at SCP, and
in the one-woman show *Becoming Dr. Ruth* at Curtain Call Theatre.  Now
retired after over 30 years in neurosurgery research, she’s a proud mother
with six precious grandchildren. The cast features *Eileen Schuyler *and *John
Romeo*. Stage management by *John Quinan*.
