West Springfield, MA (12/1624) – West Springfield’s Majestic Theater will present Incident at Our lady of Perpetual Help, a comedy by Katie Forgette, onstage January 9 through February 16.
Set in 1973, this play is a wild and tender comedy that focuses on the cash strapped O’Shea family. 19-year-old Linda O’Shea, the narrator of the story, tells the story of a family crisis of biblical proportions when a simple conversation between her and her younger sister, about the birds and the bees, was overheard by the parish priest. It was the most turbulent day in her life, and just might turn into a parish-wide scandal—if only her family would quit interrupting.
The play will be directed by Rand Foerster. Danny Eaton is producing director, and Sue Dziura is associate producing director and stage manager. Stephen Petit is production stage manager, and the associate production manager is Aurora Ferraro. Matt Whiton is the scenic designer, and the lighting designer is Daniel Rist. Costume design is by Dawn McKay and Alan Schneider is technical director.
The cast includes Sandra Blaney (Jo O’Shea), Cate Damon (Terri Carmichael), Jenna Burns (Linda O’Shea), John Baker (Mike/Lovett/Betty), Maggie Hamel (Becky O’Shea), and understudies include Christine Voytko (Terri and Jo), Julia Solecki (Linda), and Mark Dean (Mike/Lovett/Betty).
Tickets to the show range from $35-$38 and can be purchased in person at the box office or by calling (413) 747-7797. Box office hours are Monday – Friday 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. and Saturday 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
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
