Comic crisis: 3 crooks and a recluse
- By Laura Chenoweth
- Daily World writer
For a good laugh in the dead of winter,
"Everybody Loves Opal," is certain to do the trick.
The Driftwood Players in Aberdeen are opening
the upbeat comedy at 8:15 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 8.
Other play dates and times are every weekend
from Feb. 14, through March 1. The final performance is a Sunday matinee set for
2:15 p.m. March 2.
Opal Kronkie is a middle-aged, eccentric bag
lady who lives in a rundown mansion at the edge of the town dump.
She's fairly stereotypical in that she
collects anything that isn't nailed down. But rather than push her dubious
treasures around in an abandoned Safeway shopping cart, she uses a little red
wagon that quickly becomes her trademark.
Opal is a hopeless optimist with an
unstoppable faith in the goodness of her fellow man, but she finds her charity
pushed beyond human endurance when she invites three on-the-lam con-artist into
her home.
The comic pace of the play picks up when the
unexpected house guest decide to include the kindhearted Opal in some unsavory
plans. Will her goodness win out over their scheming?
"Everybody Loves Opal" is being
directed by Tobi Ingram. Cast members include: Geri Reynolds (Opal Kronkie);
Debbie Finely (Gloria Gulock); Rick Bates (Bradford Winter); Dave Foscue
(Soloman Bozo); Sunbear Farren (Officer Joe Jankie) and Bill Davis (the doctor).
Tickets are 7$ and can be purchased at
Captains Cove at the SouthShore Mall in Aberdeen, City Drug in Aberdeen, Harbor
Drug in Hoquiam, Value Drug in Montesano and Our Place in Ocean Shores.
The Driftwood Playhouse is located on the
corner of E. Third and North I in Aberdeen.
