Proposals
By Neil Simon
September 10 - October 2, 1999
Directed by Rhonda
Clark
Set outside a New York family's vacation home in
the Pocono Mountains, this memory play is evoked by Clemma Diggins, their
housekeeper. Having died in 1996, Clemma haunts the scene of the family's last
days of summer together in the 1950s as workaholic Burt Hines is recovering from
a recent heart attack, but is not recovering from his divorce to the now
remarried Annie. Soon Simon's trademark jokes start to fly when the weekend is
filled by a medley of characters with swift tongues and mismatched intentions.
Clockwise from left: Shane Dodson, Emily
Etherton,
Vincent J. Kniffin, Rob Delihant, and Jo Perryman.
