Debut of Producing Director Danny Eaton’s Newest Contemporary Drama
West Springfield, MA (1/28/23) – The Ladyslipper, described as a “heartfelt exploration of family, friendship and finding love in the least likely of places, will be presented at West Springfield’s Majestic Theater February 15 through March 24.
Written by the Majestic’s Producing Director Danny Eaton, the play follows the chain of events following the death of a local watering hole proprietor. Her long-lost daughter is discovered and arrives from England to make decisions about the future of the restaurant. She is invited into the lives of a cast of local folks who each have their own ties to the place, and to the woman who founded it. The Ladyslipper focuses on everyday people living ordinary lives, and the joy and simplicity of community that become family.
Eaton is producing director, Sue Dziura is associate producing director, and James Warwick will direct the play. Cast members include Madeleine Maggio, Jay Sefton, Chelsie Nectow, Mark Dean, Jay Torres, and Linda Storms. Stephen Petit is production stage manager, and associate production manager is Aurora Ferraro. Dan Rist is set and lighting designer, and costumer designer is Dawn McKay.
Tickets are now being sold for The Ladyslipper, as well as The Play that Goes Wrong, which is the final show in the Majestic’s current season, and runs April 18 – June 2. Tickets range from $31 – $37 and are available either in-person at the box office or by calling (413) 747-7797. Box office hours are Monday – Friday 10am – 5pm, and Saturday 10am-1pm.
