| Program: |
A CHEEVER EVENING is an adaptation
of seventeen of John Cheever’s most funny and moving stories.
Cheever is considered a master chronicler of America’s
post-war angst and alienation, and how it affected a burgeoning
suburban class. A.R. Gurney uses Cheever’s stories to
explore the affairs of the 1950’s WASPs who once felt
in the majority, but soon found themselves in the twilight of
their power and at the mercy of a changing world. Set in Westchester
and Wellfleet, Gurney has expertly weaved together choice moments
from Cheever’s stories of 50’s and 60’s alienation
and regret. Seen through the lens of A.R. Gurney’s dramatic
sensibilities, Cheever’s stories come together to create
a resonant portrait – that of a culture which, while teetering
on the brink of extinction, combats loss with humor, wit and
feeling. The ensemble includes Lukas Bailey, Tim Banning, Misty
Coy, Matt Frazier, Chris Goss, Amber Kenny, Stephen Kline, Hilary
Pingle, Amanda Restivo, and Stella Tryon. Rachel Giles is the
Set Designer, Ana Marie Salamat is the Costume Designer, Jason
Uchita is the Lighting Desinger, Kendra Curtis is the Make-Up
Designer, and John Fisher is the Sound Designer. |
