‘And Miss Reardon Drinks a Little’
Through Sept. 22Lamplighters Community Theatre presents a play about three sisters who have grown up in a house of women, dominated by their recently deceased mother. But time has erased the tender closeness of girlhood; one sister has married and cut herself off; another has begun to drink more than she should; and the third, after a scandalous incident at the school where she teaches, is on the brink of madness. When the married sister comes to dinner to press the need for committing her sibling to an institution, all the pathos, humor and honesty of the play combine with overwhelming effect. Fridays, Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. at Lamplighters Community Theatre, 5915 Severin Drive, La Mesa. Tickets range $18-$23 available at lampligherslamesa.com.
