June 4-7 & 11-14

The three surviving Holloway brothers are facing a dilemma! Their string of casual eateries are losing money and in order to save the family business oldest brother Sam wants to sell the only remaining joint property, a valuable waterfront house in Rockaway Beach, N.Y. The problem is youngest, ‘black sheep’, brother Rollie has his own plans for the proceeds, namely to pay off the lone sharks he owes money to. Middle brother and business accountant Kevin has an overbearing wife who also wants her share. And let’s not forget their deceased brother’s widow Martha, who also has a quarter share and needs the money due to a pending divorce! And if all that is not bad enough, said deceased brother Fred is haunting the house and doesn’t want anyone else living there!
WHAT THE CRITICS SAID:
“Simonelli really know his characters and writes in a way that really connects with his audience. The play is very amusing as well as very touching.”

The Richmond Hill Players Present: Picasso at the Lapin Agile. A comedy by Steve Martin.
August 20-23 & 27-30

Comedian Steve Martin’s long-running Off-Broadway absurdist play of historical fiction is set in a Parisian café called the Lapin Agile (“Nimble Rabbit”) in the year 1904. In walks a struggling artist, Pablo Picasso, and a would-be genius, Albert Einstein. The two soon-to-be-legendary men, whose egos are as big as their intellects, spar with each other and the bar’s regulars about art, science, inspiration, love, and the promise of the 20th century. Throw into the mix the arrival of a mysterious visitor from the future with a penchant for blue suede shoes, and you’re in for a brilliant and infectiously dizzy evening of theatre. In his first comedy for the stage, Steve Martin excels with goofy wordplay and convention-flouting twists that feel like a kid discovering new toys. The result is crisp humor, contemplative characters and a wholly imaginative story that delights from beginning to end. Cubism and Relativity have never been funnier.

The Richmond Hill Players Present: Collected Stories. A drama by Donald Marguiles.
August 20-23 & 27-30

Based on the real-life conflict between poet Stephen Spender and novelist David Leavitt, Collected Stories examines the emotional and legal question of an author‘s right to create art based on another person‘s life story. In the play, grad student Lisa thrilled to be under the tutelage of her literary idol, Ruth Steiner. Over the years, Lisa becomes Ruth’s personal assistant and gradually her friend, as Ruth helps her hone her writing abilities. But as Lisa’s career begins to flourish and Ruth’s begins to fade, can the tenuous relationship between mentor and mentee survive ambition, rivalry, and eventual betrayal? Lisa wants to write a book about Ruth‘s life and particularly an affair with another notable figure – the book Ruth never wrote herself. Collected Stories explores the complicated relationship between two independent women as they struggle to define what, if anything, is off-limits in art.
“With his fine ear for detail, Margulies creates an authentic, insular world, and he gives equal weight to the opposing viewpoints of two formidable characters.” – Los Angeles Times
“This is probably Margulies’ best play to date.“ – New York Post
“As usual, Margulies holds the rich ore of his material up to the light so that it sends beams in every direction… always fluid and lively, the play is thick with ideas, like a stockpot of good stew.” – Village Voice
