Two Consecutive Weekends: October 2–4 & October 9–11
[GHENT, NY] — What happens when a couple married for 50 years decides to call it quits? Plenty.
Grand Horizons, the witty and surprisingly touching comedy by award-winning playwright Bess Wohl, opens October 2 at the Ghent Playhouse. Directed by Cathy Lee-Visscher, the production runs for two weekends, October 2–4 and October 9–11.
When a long-married couple drops a bombshell on their two adult sons, the family’s carefully constructed idea of “happily ever after” comes crashing down. The result is a sharp, funny and deeply human look at marriage, family, love—and the secrets we keep.
What if, after 50 years together, the bravest thing you can do is start over?
“Life is messy. It can be funny, and sad, and poignant all at the same time,” said Lee-Visscher. “Bess Wohl captures that messiness perfectly in this wonderful portrayal of love, marriage, and family.”
Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m.
Advance tickets are available at ghentplayhouse.org: $25 for paid Playhouse members, $30 for nonmembers, and $15 for students. Tickets and memberships may be purchased online with no additional processing fees.
