Romantic Comedy Set in Lowell, MA is by Playwright Jack Neary
West Springfield, MA (10/17/23) – The Majestic Theater will present an original work by Massachusetts playwright Jack Neary, Moonglow, as the second show of its 2022-2023 Season. The romantic comedy will run October 26 – December 3 at the West Springfield venue, with Neary directing it.
Moonglow is set in Lowell, MA and tells the story of Ray Healy, a middle-aged music teacher and Catholic school band director whose personal life is “a big question mark.” When his secretary finally admits her romantic aspirations for their relationship, secrets about Ray’s past are revealed.
“Jack Neary’s plays have been favorites at this theater over the years, stated Danny Eaton, producing director for the Majestic. “We’ve presented Jerry Finnegan’s Sister, First Night and The Porch to enthusiastic audiences and we’re happy to bring another of his romantic comedies to our stage. Jack’s plays often portray elements of life in New England while presenting endearingly realistic characters facing relatable circumstances.”
The cast includes Brian Argotsinger (Ray), Stephanie Carlson (Arlene), Rand Foerster (Father Hackett), Nora Streeter (Dorothy), Stephanie Craven (Clancy) and Margaret Reilly Streeter (Linda). Sue Dziura is associate producing director. Production stage manager is Stephen Petit, and Aurora Ferraro is associate production manager. The lighting and scenic designer is Dan Rist, costume designer is Dawn McKay, and scenic artist is Braith Dicker.
Tickets are now being sold to all remaining plays in the Majestic’s current 2023-2024 Season, and range from $31 – $37. Tickets to the Majestic’s annual Home for the Holidays show (December 7-22) are also now available and are $28-$26. Box office hours are Monday – Friday 10am – 5pm, and Saturday 10am-1pm. The wearing of face masks in the theater is optional.
Doors to the theater will open one hour before the start of a show, which is also when the café opens. For more information, visit www.majestictheater.com
