Paul Zindel\u2019s wonderful study of three sisters,\u00a0\u201cAnd Miss Reardon Drinks A Little,\u201d opens Aug. 23 at Lamplighters Community Theatre in La Mesa and runs through Sept. 22.<\/p>\n
Zindel\u2019s first play written for Broadway is, according to Richard L. Coe of the Washington Post, \u201cBitterly funny and wrenchingly sad\u2026under his chillingly funny lines, Zindel is stating some hard facts about our increasingly uncomfortable world.\u201d\u00a0It\u2019s a show even more poignant today than when it was written in 1971.<\/p>\n
The play is helmed by the award-winning director O.P. Hadlock.\u00a0The cast is made up of some of San Diego\u2019s finest actors, award-winners themselves.\u00a0Playing the pivotal role of Catherine Reardon is Rhiannon McAffee, a veteran of many San Diego theaters.\u00a0Heather Warren playing Anna and Susan Stratton as Ceil fills out the roles of the sisters.\u00a0James Steinberg and Amy Dell are the obnoxious neighbors, Bob and Fleur Stein.\u00a0Equally aggravating and invasive are Mrs. Pentrano (Shannon Wolff) with her cosmetic order book and the gum-smacking Delivery Girl (Andrea Roebuck).<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd Miss Reardon Drinks a Little\u201d runs Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. through Sept. 22 at Lamplighters Community Theatre, 5915 Severin Drive, La Mesa.<\/p>\n
